Cool idea for business attendance
I just had a business teacher I talked to talk about how he has his students "punch into" class (like in some old businesses. They have a slip of paper with their name on it that has a square for each date of the month...They punch in just like you see in the movies and then move their card over to the "in" slot...this is an easy way to see who is absent and the students kind of get a kick out of it intitially. He becomes blase after awhile but then hopefully you know everybody by name and don't need to use it for a system anymore....Try it!

I like that idea. That is a fun way to incorporate the "real" world into the classroom. It also would be a quick way to take attendance. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou often hear about strategies that give students ownership. This strategy teaches responsibility, and some consistency. This is a great idea, this is a business class preparing students for jobs and to be on time. The time clock never lies and puts responsibility on their shoulders and nobody else. I could take that several different ways and develop it! Thanks for sharing, Steve!
