As Term II begins, I am changing the format of Art homework, which I think will be beneficial to all students. Homework will still be posted online, but every student will also receive a printed copy in class. With this being said, the homework is always online, so if you miss a class where homework is distributed, there is no reason for the assignment to not be turned in completed the following week. Each student will only receive one copy of the homework and if it is misplaced, they must access the website to find the assignment.
The reason for homework only being accessible online was for a couple reasons:
1) A digital copy of homework allows for you to access the document from any location. If you left the assignment at school, you would still be able to find the information from home since it is on the website.
2) I dream of a world where paper isn't wasted. When information can be given in a format other than paper, like an online Google Doc, I believe it should be. Paper should be left for art making! :)
I understand that a digital classroom is not something that had been practiced at FCCS until my classroom this year. I would love to be able to work up to only assigning digital homework, but I've seen many flaws in this during Term I. Hey, we gave it a good try! I just think everyone would benefit from handouts from now and using the digital copy as an aid, not something to rely on.
