Computation layer gives beginning users great opportunities for bell ringer and ticket out the door opportunities. Good to be able to give students feedback and higher level tasks. @aprilpfortsiowa @desmos @mjfenton #iowamath #iadesmos

In https://t.co/ySpt6VXKg2, I can insert an image, resize it, and move it to any point on the coordinate plane. I can develop/edit an activity for MS/HS math students to complete. Knowledge is power. @aprilpfortsiowa @desmos @mjfenton #iowamath #iadesmos

Before you can walk you have to crawl. Using Desmos is the same, except with desmos, it is built so that it doesn't take long to move from crawling to sprinting. @aprilpfortsiowa @desmos @mjfenton #iowamath #iadesmos

Today I learned I the fairly simple procedures for editing desmos activities that allow for the creation of an activity that asks students to predict, sketch, react to others' input, revise, and/or to extend the activity. Powerful tool. @desmos @mjfenton #iowamath #iadesmos

[John Walsh @JohnTMWalsh]

Cannot wait to use the desmos activities with students. Loved the Activity Design Principles. Create an intellectual need for new mathematical skills. Create activities that are easy to start but difficult to finish. @desmos @mjfenton #iowamath #iadesmos

Its very difficult to dispel ignorance if you retain arrogance.

Just finished another section of the desmos class. Strong tool. Great teacher controls that will enable pacing of the lesson, opportunities to pause lesson to discuss topics. @aprilpfortsiowa #iowamath #iadesmos

https://t.co/VBnUfyc9JQ allows the student the opportunity to explore and learn how best to use the app. Students explore, learn, and share wth others how to use the app to solve problems. The more I know the cooler the app. @aprilpfortsiowa #iowamath #iadesmos

If you get a chance, go to Drew's Chocolates, 426 State Street, Dexter, IA. Fun place to stop and get some chocolates - or some ice cream.

Taking class to learn about https://t.co/ySpt6VXKg2 tools. Powerful tool with great graphing dynamics, allows students opportunity to manipulate equations and see effects. Must have in MS/HS math classroom. @aprilpfortsiowa #iowamath #iadesmos
