By: WavePrint Ltd With remote access to all necessary information, including assignment details and due dates as well as attached worksheets, resources and web links, schools are seeing improvements in the amount and quality of homework submitted. Both student (myHomework App) and teacher (Teachers.io) Students are growing up in a digital era where large amounts of free time are spent on devices; it therefore makes sense to provide information to them in a way they understand and through their preferred channels. WHO can be used to support current homework policy and many schools use the online service to complement their printed planners. Nigel Clarke, Director said “Homework excuses have been around as long as homework itself, from ‘I lost the worksheet’ and ‘I didn’t know what I had to do’ to ‘I didn’t know it was due today’. This makes homework a hugely frustrating subject for teachers; you spend time planning and compiling the assignment, writing the worksheet and photocopying resources, only for a proportion of the class to tell you that they haven’t done it. This impacts on the lesson, on the students’ understanding of the subject and ultimately on their grades.” “We are bringing homework planning into the digital age; printed planners serve an important purpose and will do for years to come, but we are offering new options to schools, many of whom use WHO in combination with a traditional planner.” With over 20 years experience helping schools to develop resources that add real value to the individual needs and policies of their school, WavePrint are established educational suppliers of teaching resources and educational marketing supplies.
