I cover one ICT homework session, one evening a week, for younger overseas students. I have been trying to introduce them to useful websites, but have clearly misunderstood how tired they were and how jaded they can be with the Internet. So I had tried an informal, 'give them a site' and 'monitor each individually' for the first two weeks. Crowd control would be the kindest description of the outcome.
So much as I might not like them personally (it did raise a groan) tasksheets do seem to be the answer. I did find the silly things (finding out if they would like to try 'bubble and squeek' while researching dictionaries) seemed to work well so I will try to do something even sillier next time!
