“With the time to reteach a skill being almost non-existent, I have found a way to get in the re-teaching with much greater accuracy and success. I load a selected skill worksheet from Microsoft into the eChalk Homework Dropbox as a homework assignment... The students are allowed to work in pairs to complete the homework assignment on the computers at school if time permits, or at home. Each student must sign-in to submit [their own] assignment. Working together means they get peer tutoring and they get to go over the assignment twice. Now, the students are seeing a greater success response on their homework assignments, and with an increase of computer access and peer assistance, I'm seeing a greater response of homework assignments being submitted. The students are even asking for their assignments to be loaded on ECHALK instead of being physically brought into class.”
