Homework

Donna Noll is a math teacher at Seminole High School in Florida.  She teaches algebra and calculus.  She posts the students homework on Facebook.   A live scribe pen is used to document the message, and then it is attached to a PDF.  This is an excellent way to motivate students to complete the assignment.  

Many students spend hours on Facebook daily.  Students can work together and solve the problems.  I never thought about using Facebook as an educational resource.  However, if this method produces positive results, I will invite students to be my friend.
