Digital Tools for Homework Help

Digital Tools for Homework Help

The purpose of this group is to provide a forum where teachers and parents can share great digital tools for homework help.

Welcome

Welcome to Digital Tools for Homework Help!

Research shows again and again that parents have a have a huge impact on student achievement in school and throughout life (Becta 2009, Henderson and Mapp 2002, Simpson 2001). In their recent report, “A New Wave of Evidence: The Impact of School, Family, and Community Connections on Student Achievement,” the Southwest Education Development Laboratory (2002) points out that regardless of demographics, children with involved parents are more likely to (1) pass their coursework and earn higher grades, (2) attend school regularly, (3) socialize more easily with their peers and (4) graduate and go onto university.

In the spirit of helping parents get involved during homework time, this group was created to support educational resource exchange between educators and parents. The hope is that the resources shared within this group will help parents get excited during homework help time, as well as save time and stress.

Check out the Curriculum tab to see a wealth of homework help resources including:

  • Age Appropriate Educational Sites for Kids
  • Internet Search Tips for Finding Homework Help Resources in a Snap
  • Open Education Resources of Note - Free Educational Content that Can be Shared, Mixed and Modified.
Please feel free to add additional useful content using the Curriculum tab above. You are also welcome to use the Messages tab to contact other group members with questions and ideas!

Sincerely,

Anna
