Show My Homework is an app and online platform that aims to help students stay organized with their homework by allowing them to see assigned work, access resources to help complete it, and receive automatic reminders. It provides benefits to both students and teachers by reducing the need for students to write assignments in planners and giving teachers a way to provide differentiated resources. The document outlines how the platform works and steps schools can take to fully implement it, including providing user credentials and having teachers begin assigning homework through the system. It also notes that while technical issues arose initially, reported homework problems have trended downward since its introduction.
