APRIL FOOLS: How to Turn in Your Homework in Isolation

We at Rhinebeck Reality understand. Canvas and Google Classroom can be so confusing! How do I submit this assignment? What is my login info? How do I turn notifications off? Online learning is hard. That’s why, we have come to the rescue with 6 other ways to turn in your homework in isolation (teacher approval pending).

  1. Smoke Signals. A tried and true method of communication. Simply start a bonfire in your backyard using physical copies of your homework as kindling. The bigger the fire, the more work you’ve done. Teacher should be able to give us our homework grades based on how much ash they see covering the sun.
  2. Paper Airplane. Print your homework and fold it into the most aerodynamic, slender plane you can conceive. Now run to the highest point of your home, close your eyes and release your airborn messenger out into the sky. If you believe hard enough, it will always reach its destination.
  3. Scream it at the top of your lungs. Simply go outside (but not too far outside) and begin to shout the words of your homework as loudly as you are physically able. Foolproof!
  4. Post your completed homework assignments on instagram. Unfortunately this would require teachers to have some social media savvy to locate your work. So, for now, this is likely impossible.
  5. Carrier pigeons. Similar to paper airplanes but much more labor intensive, this method of turning in your homework entails catching a bird and training it for months to fly on command to a desired location. Make sure to also take good care after your bird and protect it from the Coronavirus by letting it live in isolation, inside your home, with you. Teachers, as a precautionary measure, please disinfect carrier pigeons with Lysol before collecting their letters.
  6. Telepathy. According to the single  YouTube tutorial I watched on the subject, all you need to do is open your mind and lower your expectations.

We hope you have found these methods useful in overcoming the perplexing interface of canvas and google classroom. If you have any other suggestions for peers or teachers, leave them in the comments below!
