Chinese Crested Powderpuff

"Do your homework," she chirped in my ear

have to be homework, at least in high school. Not always, it is motivating for the students and do not always keep track. It is important, but most of all: the students need to know what they do and they must do the tasks.

One way to make sure it, the twitter to homework. In my view, one of the few useful application for Twitter, but I will gladly teach you better ...

speak for homework tweeted several reasons. Didactic often seen at the end of an hour the air is intensively farmed out. At worst, after the chime will not verbally say quickly what to do for homework. This is better: Homework can be posted on the board or be placed on film, in any case they must be visualized in my opinion. Who's teaching, however, already prepared on the computer, the homework formulation usually already present in typed form. What speaks against it, then print that too quickly to all interested students via Twitter? Of course, as an additional offer!

This is the second reason: The students are highly motivated to accept the offer! You already use Twitter frequently and get so - that one might find pedagogical concern - delivered their homework free. If extra motivation to do his homework, so simple is what speaks against it?

Does one teacher from a mobile input device, whether smartphone, iPod or iPad leaves, the whole action easily done directly in the classroom. And there are any interested student has homework to do and it must then also - in principle!
