@SuzannahEvans2 @willrich45 I agree! A few years ago, we created a "HW" menu with research-based opportunities that benefit students (unlike traditional HW) i.e. create, build, read, move, chores, play outside, play an instrument, time w/ family, etc. The goal was to reframe what HW looks like and why.
Quick tip for all the amazing teachers working to make videos and using video conferencing tools: Set up your computer so that you are *facing* a window or light source. You want more light on your face than behind you. Look at the difference! Same day, same place, same time.
