GetMyHomework is an affordable system that allows parents
and students to quickly and easily play homework assignments via the
telephone or the Internet.
Unfinished homework impedes
learning and reduces test scores.
GetMyHomework promotes
communication between teachers, parents and students.
Universal Access
GetMyHomework leaves no students behind!
Millions of students lack Internet access at home but almost all have
access to a telephone. Homework can be retrieved via telephone,
the Internet or even be sent daily via e-mail.
Some homework products are available only on the web
while others are available only via telephone. GetMyHomework is
universal.
Measurable Participation
Administrators & teachers can track system use.
On-line reports track daily system activity per class to help insure
the system is being used. No personal student or parent
information is ever captured.
Parental Involvement
Parents crave feedback from teachers.
Teachers want a fast and easy way to communicate with parents.
A one minute teacher message each day keeps parents informed of
field trip forms, upcoming tests, special events and homework
assignments. These messages keep parents connected with classroom
activities and can change the typical dinner conversation:
"What
happened in school today?"
"Nothing."
Encourages Teacher Participation
Parents and students won't use the system if recordings
are not made by teachers.
Administrators can easily identify teachers deserving special
recognition with a simple report that lists a "teacher
participation ratio" indicating the percentage of school days the
teacher makes a recording.
School boards and administrators are under tremendous pressure to
improve standardized test scores. GetMyHomework is a powerful tool
for schools to improve learning and raise test scores. Teacher
participation is critical for success and the "teacher
participation ratio" report helps administrators reward system use
by the teachers.
Ease Of Use
Teachers can use the system without ever touching a
computer.
It takes only seconds for a teacher to make a recording using any
telephone. The design is FAST and EASY.
More technically inclined teachers can also use the web-based teacher
interface to manage messages, access any POP-3 e-mail account and
perform other functions. Use of this interface is completely
optional.
Parents and students also find the system very easy to use.
= Improved Test Scores
Parents can insure that
homework assignments are complete so learning and test scores improve.
