Several of my students have something of a technology gap, but I think it's worth it to take some class time to go over options like these.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07801229525416203656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894985875251058299.post-83529447718731429562013-10-18T06:05:44.984-07:002013-10-18T06:05:44.984-07:00That's a great idea.

(Which, in turn, means it's hard for them to wrap their minds around the way the assignments in the class work together.)

If someone came to me midsemester complaining about how hard it was to keep track of everything, I would ask first if they set up their reminders, and then when they said no, I'd have them sit down at my computer and walk them through it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894985875251058299.post-55562750735063005292013-10-08T08:06:52.415-07:002013-10-08T08:06:52.415-07:00One thing you might do is literally illustrate/exp...One thing you might do is literally illustrate/explain how the little assignments are meant to help. I'm unsure how to instill habits in adults (not my area of expertise), but I could see if you tallied up some calculations to SHOW how they matter, it might help motivate. I'm picturing you literally showing the tallying of someone's semester grade where they get B's on papers but complete all their assignments, so they have an A at the end. Or C's and get a B or whatever. That may stick with people?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531278873170389452noreply@blogger.com
