Do you have any other observations?
To derive the most from Visual Bridges such as Today at School or Last Night at Home, it is essential for the people on both ends to understand the purpose. It does take time to develop Visual Bridges and it takes time to participate in the communication that they generate. The rewards in student communication can far outweigh the time and effort devoted. This activity may not look like traditional homework, however, it will be an effective tool to help develop the social and communication skills that are essential for successful adulthood. Ultimately that is the goal.

Where can I learn more?
The book Visual Strategies for Improving Communication contains a lot more information about using Visual Bridges such as Today at School and Last Night at Home.
