homefuns

Fun work that is given by the teacher for when you go home, commonly mistaken as "homework". Homefuns usually take hours but they are fun.

HomeFun is an assignment to do at home. As opposed to homework, it should be something fun and engaging that teaches or assesses learning. Students, whether they be adults, teens, or children will appreciate the idea of having fun while studying. Who wants to go home after a class and do work? The common conception behind the word "work" is that it is not enjoyable. Learning should be pleasurable and studies show that it is easier to remember when you have had fun learning!

"Having fun while learning avails unique cognitive resources, associates reward and pleasure with information, strengthens and broadens memory networks, and toggles abstract thinking and focused attention."
Quote from Cognition Today

Assignments that are given by a teacher or trainer are meant to be enjoyable. Who wants to do homework? By using the term HomeFun students can envisage assignments in a different way. Science shows that we remember things better when they are fun.
