Internet homework resources
Research may require only one computer, although some people may use more.There
are many homework-related resources available on the World Wide Web. There are
web-sites dedicated to communicating about homework, for teachers to post
assignments on-line for students, and to keep parents informed. Many schools
host their own homework posting services on their websites. There are non-profit
organizations on-line that help students with their homework for free. There are
also tutorials on most school subjects, especially math, which students can use
if they don't understand their homework assignments. Many websites provide
homework tips on how to complete particular types of homework assignments, such
as how to write an essay. Many libraries provide on-line resources which present
subjects specifically for students who are looking for something to write about.
And there are archives of ready-made homework assignments, including handouts,
which teachers can use to provide homework to their students. Many other
websites are good for research, especially search engines, such as Google, and
encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia.
Parents are often encouraged to monitor their students' usage of the internet,
as some sites can be deceiving and not child-friendly.
Tutoring
With an enhanced emphasis on homework, parents and students are turning to
customized solutions. Private institutions like Sylvan Learning Centers and
Kaplan tend to help students through individually-tailored assignments. Other
parents find help through their community where study-groups and other resources
may be made available. Many libraries provide tutors for helping students with
their homework, both in-person and on-line. See Homework help service.
