Mrs. West's Homework: Mrs. West's 5th grade lesson plan for week of April 30, 2012
As I read Mrs. West's homework blog, I am struck with the simplicity but also the thought that there are so many places to publish homework. I think the question we must ask every teacher is: "How can students access your homework FROM HOME? How can they interact with you ONLINE?" It doesn't have to be one size fits all but such things should not be optional. I think everyone should be able to access grades and assignments online in every class.
