Subject: Re: question regarding handing in h.w online
Dear Adi and List,
One way of solving this bug problem is to use google docs.
Ask each pupil to create his/her own gmail account and send you an
e-mail so you can add them to your address book..
Then enter google docs and open a word file for each pupil ( or
explain how to do it and ask each pupil to open their own and add you
as someone who can edit ( so you can respond and write comments).
The kids work online. They send you an invite ( which means they have
handed in the work). You go in and check it.
No downloading. On going write-check-rewrite, if you wish. When you
get used to it, it becomes a second habit.
BTW, this is also for group / collaboration work - you invite those in
the group and the teacher.
I hope this helped.
Shana Tova to one and all,
Nehama
