Its 8pm. Time for #ukedchat @ICTmagic @8pm Is homework a vital learning tool or an outdated educational throwback? Good evening. I would like to start very general. Do you set homework and why? #ukedchat @shaunh0pper We've given each pupil a stationary set - tool kit to get started in previous years too. To promote creativity #ukedchat #ukedchat it's better to encourage students to take work home (optional) rather than homework (compulsory) We set homework to consolidate learning that has taken place that week #ukedchat The purpose of homework for me is to extend learning opportunities, practice skills and to uide students in reading more widely #ukedchat Quite boring though! #ukedchat #ukedchat Homework is a great tool for learning as long as it's appropriate and designed to stimulate and support children's learning!!! I would love to dispense with homework. But there is too much to do. You need to change what schools do first #ukedchat #ukedchat sometimes think my children get homework to please parents rather than any specific worth being involved.

homework is a useful tool to enhance pupil learning MatClarke_PriEd but often perceived by staff as a burden requested by parents. #ukedchat [Weekly reminder] #ukedchat is about to start on Pauls_elearning Twitter.

@Jivespin is this lazy? It's how I do it :-) #ukedchat Problem with homework is those children who would bekblayton benefit most become turned off quickly because they don't/can't do complete it #ukedchat @ICTmagic imagine students leaving school without PhysicsAndy having had the chance to practise independent learning outside of a classroom #ukedchat #ukedchat manga high for maths is terrific.anything davidhunter similar for spelling? #ukedchat Homework is the biggest drag of the week Educationchat for me - to set it and mark it.

Too much for kids and to much for me to assess. @PeterSpencer88 Oh yes - must have a link to Jivespin previous learning or it has little value #ukedchat @SamRowley How would that change the type of ICTmagic homework you set if it were set less frequently? #ukedchat #ukedchat key questions: who actually did it? How mrpeel long did it take? I try to avoid writing tasks because I cannot know these answers. #ukedchat how about tutors only setting homework? dandesignthink Not for subjects, but for student development? Areas students are interested in? @lizzie_h18 it's funny but I always thought my own davidhunter sons reading homework got in the way of me teaching him to read #ukedchat we gave a blank speech bubble for homework - for children to talk to their parents about what they had lizzie_h18 learnt in Y2 - worked well #Ukedchat @ICTmagic we are forced to set hmk everyday.

Pupils then assess each others. #ukedchat @StephenLev homework: totalitarian mind ethinking control allowing schools to delude themselves they know better than all families @eyebeams #ukedchat great question! One of the Showmyhomework biggest complaints from sec schools is about homework from parents! #ukedchat The number of times parents have Educationchat completed homework for their children... #ukedchat homework is an opportunity for parents to mikeatedji participate in their child' school life/learning. @virkjay @Magicfullstop A book voucher?! Really?! Payno04 Secondary or primary?! #ukedchat #ukedchat that Sutton trust report found homework to davidhunter have minimal impact on learning. Have to say it really depends on what is set. #ukedchat Homework is a complete and utter waste kvnmcl of everyone's time. Pointless in every way possible. @Jivespin will definitely look into it. How often do you PeterSpencer88 set this sort of homework? #ukedchat Many tweeps are saying that they *have to* set ICTmagic homework.

as apposed to homework? @davidhunter i think its the only chance a lot of our children have to share a book with their parents though sadly #Ukedchat #ukedchat Spelling tests! I mean...the kids learn them for the test but then promptly forget! What is the point? As parent and teache ri'd prefer 1 extra hour per day and no HWK - or build in daytime slot in school for "private work" #ukedchat we set homework - parents expect - and I believe it's another way of reinforcing what they've learnt in class-also school told #ukedchat #ukedchat chn share with peers, vote on best 1. Homework club provided twice a week for chn to do in school if no support at home. Homework is the only thing that consistently brought tears to our table when my kids were younger #ukedchat RT @kvnmcl #ukedchat Homework is a complete and utter waste of everyone's time. Pointless in every way possible. @Magicfullstop Agree. Even when parent want to help they haven't the skills so opportunities given during the sch day #ukedchat RT @ICTmagic Many tweeps are saying that they *have to* set homework. How would you do it if you had the freedom to do so? #ukedchat Industrial town/football nickname homework task http://t.co/PmKTc9nm - just a little HW task I set recently for KS3 History #ukedchat I see homework as an opportunity for students to engage with each other, a lot of it is voluntary EG: http://t.co/rO1eufUB #ukedchat #ukedchat And Ofsted last week criticised me for nor differentiating my spellings 3 ways for homework... I mean of all things. #ukedchat how about students getting into the habit of making their own PLN? Their own interests in mind. thinking & social media skills #ukedchat Obviously there shouldn't be compulsion for parents to take part, but could be invited

homework, sadly often it's set for sake of it and the kids and parents know it too #ukedchat #ukedchat I tend to set tasks that are more consolidation rather than 'new learning'. It's the routine and time management that's valuable @ICTmagic I really love this idea and think we might have a discussion about it tomorrow so I can think about it over the hols #ukedchat Homework should be called: Home Learning or Extended Learning or iHome or Own Work or Mywork or Mylearning..... #ukedchat @HuntingEnglish @pekabelo So do I!! They all rave about Rosetta stone and mummies. Would work with any free gallery/ museum. #ukedchat #ukedchat do we always have to deliver our home work in a written form mine are worried about producing videos , audio, plays, interviews @aangeli @its_alastair Your husband must have a great job then! Lucky guy! #ukedchat @urban_teacher does it really matter what it's called? #ukedchat #ukedchat one of the best tasks I set is for students to teach their parents what they learnt in the lesson & the parents to write a comment @ferrr80 and then returned in a way that lets student engage with marking. time consuming, but vital reqs well chosen hwk tasks #ukedchat #ukedchat @purplemash is great for homework tasks; open-ended and creative. Use @100word challenge for homework which a lot of ch love. But same old story- those that do hw do it those that don't don't #ukedchat Didn't set one piece of homework all year yet pupils worked producing 70,000 words+ on their blogs from home #ukedchat Where there's a will I don't mind the word "homework". I talk a lot with my students about the fulfillment and virtue of a bit of hard work. #ukedchat RT @mattlovegrove: RT @mattlovegrove: #ukedchat @purplemash is great for homework tasks; openended and creative. #ukedchat Would it be better to only set homework

Might be to practice a song! @TeacherToolkit @day_tom Yes but it must add something to learning & lead to progress if set.

We got a mention about homework in our OfSTED! #ukedchat Thing is, needs to be set regularly so pupils get into the habit, but then tends to lose impact and focus #ukedchat homework is needed, but the ability to do work at home is a skill that should be practiced. It's needed in most jobs #ukedchat my idea factory students take their work home every week and come back with dozens of new ideas! Make homework creative!!!

#ukedchat final thoughts? Make it relevant, purposeful and engaging. Don't do it for its own sake. #homework @ICTmagic #ukedchat just set a task writing up a heart dissection. Clear instructions, peer assessed and ict based. @KarlBarrs love this idea #ukedchat @AndyRoss75 @karlhandy @ICTmagic HW club is a good idea. Many of our students have parents who can't support them as they are EAL #ukedchat @KarlBarrs #ukedchat freire at work again and why not @cherrylkd It depends on the SEN student. Some of mine prefer to do their work at home on their blog #ukedchat @its_alastair Can you answer it? :) #ukedchat Parental involvement adds value to homework and school progress! #ukedchat @Jivespin Sounds interesting. #ukedchat HW idea: spend a couple hours towards the 10,000 hrs you need to spend to make your passion your job/life #ukedchat @ICTmagic Children loved it when they had freedom to create a mountain monster in any medium they chose! Really helped literacy #ukedchat RT @Simon_Warburton: RT @Simon_Warburton: @ICTmagic #ukedchat just set a task writing up a heart dissection.
