Reconceptualizing Homework in the Digital Age - Matthew Lynch, Tech Edvocate

Probably the best benefit of a reconceptualization of homework in the digital age is that it makes it possible to personalize assignments so that the needs of each student are met. Teachers can access open educational resources and they can make different homework assignments for different students. Students can study the same content but at a reading level appropriate for their needs. They can also access text, videos, interactives, or practice problems based on their learning preferences. They can work at their own pace. In other words, homework can be specifically targeted for the student’s unique needs and preferences; it can be a custom-tailored suit instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. https://www.thetechedvocate.org/reconceptualizing-homework-in-the-digital-age/
