Design and the Elastic Mind – “Design and the Elastic Mind explores the reciprocal relationship between science and design in the contemporary world by bringing together design objects and concepts that marry the most advanced scientific research with attentive consideration of human limitations, habits, and aspirations. The exhibition highlights designers’ ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and history—changes that demand or reflect major adjustments in human behavior—and translate them into objects that people can actually understand and use. This Web site presents over three hundred of these works, including fifty projects that are not featured in the gallery exhibition. “

I just read the article on the value of homework. Interesting . . .
My homework assignments for World History usually only take about 10-15 minutes unless my students have a test or project to work on.
At my school, we as a faculty, are currently arguing the value of homework. The problem we are finding is that some of us give homework every night and some don't give homework at all.
In my World History classes, I like to give quick homework assignments that usually either reiterate what they learned in class that day or to introduce a new topic that I will be covering the next class.
I would be curious to see what other teachers from across the country think about this topic.
It's the age old debate . . . is it worth giving homework to students?
