I'm a wife, mom and high school math teacher in Virginia! I love my family, teaching and all things Math!

@Mathymomto5 @TypeAMathLand I'm sad.... glad you have a passion but sad that its not math ed anymore. I have been missing taking care of family too and not in the classroom directly anymore. Feels like those were the "good 'ole days."

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@Desmos my fellow math teachers are IN LOVE and the other teachers are so jealous! Good news is... other depts are using the desmos platform! Suggestions from my folks: voice feedback from student and teacher; teacher writes on the screen and student can see it on theirs!

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@druinok Our kids are on chromebooks and can't record their screens from within Canvas studio but ....maybe using screencastify or something similar. Would be cool to hear them talk about their thinking.

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

Anyone out there having kids record their screen while they worked through a desmos activity?

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@druinok I'm following. We do SBG but haven't been able to wrap our heads around that either.

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

Great idea !!

[Mark S @hfxmark]

Oh my! That was fun!! Just wrapped up a virtual dry run through a school day with my students. So exciting to see their faces and them ready to get started. Thanks @DStempMVPrin for having us do this!! #ViewPride #GoCats

I did a @Flipgrid where literally I just had the kids introduce themselves and tell me what they want to be called and if they had any pets. I am so glad.....I am responding to each video just to say hi. Building community virtually is so hard. #MTBoS

@gwaddellnvhs @wmukluk This breaks my heart. What an amazing person. She gave to so many so freely. Praying for her family.

@maaagoodie. Share with the PLC

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@hfxmark Yep. Thinking we might try using phones and stands. I, personally, have a small ipevo from years ago. Works like a charm.

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

Looking for inexpensive plug and play document camera. Any suggestions? Ipevo is great but on back order.

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@hfxmark Nope....we're chromebook folks.

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@druinok Yep haven't tried that...

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@druinok They don't even have the cute little ipevo's any more. We're talking about maybe getting webcams for $35 and maybe coming up with some way to mount it.

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@Mathowitz Another teacher friend ran into a former student in an olive grove in Italy. What are the chances?

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@maaagoodie You and Kayti....she was just saying the same thing the other day.

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@maaagoodie Same.....

[Lois Burke @lbburke]

@druinok I've used it before and found it pretty easy. I like the embedded questions. I think you'll like it.

#NCIS oh my...so many feelings. Really wanted to see Tony and Ziva together...but, oh this show. So good! Writing is just awesome!
