  1. I had an interesting call from my brother in the week. He teaches maths. Now they have moved all the homework to be online. That's a great thing. You can see how long each kid is taking over their homework. What their scores are. If you notice lots of kids get question 4 wrong, then you need to revisit it. Information that's not been available in the past. One thing has come up. Homework was taking a hour a week has dropped to 20 mins. The question is why? The answer is they are using a phone app. Point it at the question, click, it gives you the answer, you write it in. So a disaster for learning. The counter is that you have to have tests in class, where apps can't be used. No homework for your scores. Same thing is happening in other areas. For example, chat gpt for essays. So all essays have to be hand written. You get given general a research top, and you can do all your research, make notes etc. Then the essay gets written in class. Now that does reduce teaching time, but it does increase some skills you need these days, such as research. They are going to move away from plagiarism checkers too.
