How to Use Desmos Computation Layer for Table

I’ve used the table in Desmos as a way to provide practice problems to students, assess graphing points from my equation and so much more. When paired with student feedback the table is so powerful.

How to Use Desmos Computation Layer for Reveal Answer

This was the first “coding” I used in Desmos and it has since led me to a world of possibilities! Reveal answer unfortunately doesn’t provide you with feedback through the teacher dashboard but allows students to assess their own knowledge through the answer provided. Grab the code here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1AxkqEYCpg&list=PLy6YNm9BHT1sF2Gr1PX2n1q5nWtYSvNCy&index=7

How I Use Desmos With My Students

When I first started using Desmos earlier this year in virtual learning, I used it just for warm ups. I’d create a set with two questions, send the link to students and jumped into our activities for the day. Slowly I realized that my two question Desmos set could be expanded to a whole lesson.Read More

It’s been a while but I pulled Whiteboard.fi bac It’s been a while but I pulled Whiteboard.fi back out today! Yesterday during my induction meeting, a teacher shared that they’ve been using it with students then had students submit the downloaded images through Canvas. I had to try it! We got went through fewer examples than I anticipated but that was okay because it was a lot of teaching procedures Click the flag below this picture to reference for later.

Procedures I explicitly taught today:

Whiteboard.fi: 1.) There is no submit button. Everything students put on their end automatically show up on mine. 2.) On the student’s screen there is a toggle teacher board button. This will allow students to see my work. Aka they will only need to stay on one screen. 3.) The button next to the red trash can with the downward arrow is your download button. Save the slide as a PNG.

Canvas: I decided to make the assignment a text upload so that student can submit multiple images and I can quickly check them in speedgrader. I taught students to click the box with the sun and mountain, click the rocketship, go to downloads and insert the image you saved. It will be labeled as drawing.png. 

Swipe to see the screens I had up during the lessons. When I explicitly taught the procedures I alternated between sharing screen of the teacher and student view.

Let me know below what your favorite practice platform is in online learning!
I love the chat function in zoom. It feels super l I love the chat function in zoom. It feels super low risk and is a quick way for me to assess how my students are doing. Something I’ve been trying to add into my virtual teacher toolbox is this phrase here. In one of my class they send EVERYTHING to me privately and when I ask for the answers it is *crickets*. When I started to say, “Send me, ‘I don’t know’ if you’re looking at this problem and you literally have no idea what it’s asking...” I was able to get more engagement to hook them in for a quick reteach and then reassess.

What is your favorite part of the chat function?
