One method is more efficient than the other. So what we want to do, we want to make sure that were always using the most suitable, most efficient method to solve.

There's some questions in homework that, no matter how hard you try or how much you review the lesson there a little hard to do.
I was doing my homework, I had a little bit of trouble doing a question and my mom suggested using ILC. At the time this was last year, I didn't know what it was- I went on the website, it was very useful and ridiculously easy to use and its free.

What students do is they come into my chat room, and they come in with a homework question. And then I will prompt them and direct them to the correct answer, I don't give them the answer, so when they do have the time from their own home they can just access a certified teacher and get that one on one help that they need.

In class they may not want to ask a question in front of the entire class. They may be centered out or they may feel embarrassed for some reason. Daniel always participates a lot so I think too when he knows his answers are correct that he's more willing to participate and make sure that he really understands all the concepts.
This homework help is great because it allows students to just go online, they can ask any questions they want. And they can be anonymous the entire time.

In two thousand and seven in our platform, we promised that we would develop the homework help strategy. It's an online resource - its free. Registered teachers are involved in helping students. And now fifteen boards across the province will be providing this service to their students.
