twitter follower

I began following Dylan Kane and he tweeted a link to a description of a new way he was giving homework. He began giving his students a worksheet with 10-15 problems on it.  The problems are completely mixed practice and mostly involves lower skilled problems.  He wants the students to be able to practice all math and not just the stuff they learned that day or are learning in that unit.  I really like this way of giving homework.  When homework is made simple for students, there is normally a better chance that they will complete it.  It is also very important for students to practice math that they have learned and not just the math that they are currently learning.  Another thing I like about it is that students can still complete the homework if they missed class and have no excuse to not do it.  He says that the new way of giving homework has been really successful.  He finds it most important that students are at least completing the homework and this is happening. I really enjoy his twitter because of the links he posts. I finally found a twitter person I really like!
