@web20classroom I never dropped HW all together. I think we need to extend learning beyond time and space of classroom. #edchat

At the higher ed level homework is actually mandated by law. Students supposed to spend X number of hours outside of class. #edchat

@trescolumnae self-regulation does not equal mastery. I mean the setting of goals, time management, etc. BTW I sucked at HW #edchat

HW also does not have to be free of choice and should never be designed just for completion. #edchat
