Homework

Homework — Post, View, and Submit Homework (Teacher / Student / Parent)

The Homework feature in InstaClass helps teachers share homework clearly with students and parents using text and attachments (including a photo of the blackboard). This avoids confusion from unreadable diary writing and helps parents support their child better. Teachers can post once for the entire class, add a due date, and optionally allow students to submit homework online.

1) Who can use Homework in InstaClass?

  • Post blackboard photo for clarity when needed
  • Add small instructions in description (page numbers, questions, notebook type)
  • Use submission only when you need proof/tracking (not for every homework)

9) Common mistakes to avoid

  • Posting to the wrong class/section
  • Forgetting due date
  • Publishing before checking content
  • Using unclear titles like “Do it” (avoid)
  • Not enabling submission when you actually want students to upload work
