Small Changes Integrating Technology into Traditional Classrooms
Is Written Work Only for English Classrooms? The new Common Core Literacy standards require the teaching of writing across the curriculum.
The Traditional Way to Assign Written Work Do you... • spend hours at the copy machine each week only to find paper copies of assignments, rubrics, etc. in the trash can each day? • use days of class time conferencing face-to-face with students? • carry heavy stacks of “processed” work home each week? Do your students… • rarely look at or often lose papers given to them in class? • waste instructional time while you spend one-on-one time with another student? • use excuses for not having paper copies of assignments in class on time?
If you answered yes: Do you feel that both your and your students’ time is used effectively? Do you feel that you are able to provide and the students are able to receive appropriate and useful feedback?
