Subject: Using the Internet for homework
A few comments:
* I second Adele's link recommendations and would like to add these two:
Esl Video http://www.eslvideo.com/index.php
Learning with video clips
Lyrics training http://www.lyricstraining.com/
learning with music
* It's not enough to have great sites in order to give homework online
and have the kids actually do it. You have to be clear about many
things. For example - how are they going to hand in the work? if it is
an online site with answers, how do you know they have done it? How do
you show the students that your homework tasks are important and
relevant?
I personally have students send me screen shots if its a self check
site and email the worksheet if its an exercise I have prepared.
Might not work for everyone.
I give online homework to all my students once a week, every Monday,
whether they learn English that day or not , even if they were absent.
I don't grade homework but I keep a record "done" not "done" and it
does affect teacher evaluation. I do give options for making up missed
homework.
Best of luck!
