January 23, 2021

In this session, teachers will learn how to use Desmos, a free digital platform for creating interactive math lessons, from both the teacher and the student perspective. Teachers will engage in an investigative, problem-based Desmos lesson and then learn about the Activity Builder features to search from pre-made lessons and/or build their own. Teachers will design multiple types of screens including interactive graphs, tables, choice and checkboxes, open ended, card sorts, and more and know how to deliver them with students using the Teacher Dashboard.

1. Explore dozens of pre-made Desmos activities and engage in one as a learner

2. Learn how to provide feedback for both synchronous and asynchronous students

3. Create your own lessons using Desmos Activity Builder

4. Explore pre-made templates for check-ins and checks for understanding

5. Create interactive activities such as card sorts and Marbleslides
