If you go to the top and do “view options” you can exit fullscreen

Finally the world will know your power… yes…but also the other stuff too.

Wonder if you've considered doing "leveled" webinars - intro to desmos, using features, basic creation, vs computational level - I know, maybe too much to ask since you are probably as overwhelmed as everyone else.

Megan, check the Desmos channel on YouTube

Thanks for doing this impromptu

Thank you for humanizing this process, Dan!

Our district will be doing the food and hotspot thing too

Yeah our school has given the link to Comcast providing free 2 months of internet and we will loan out chromebooks to those without.

disappointed that our spring break was changed to next week but I guess it could be good thing for prep of “distance learning”

not worried about coronavirus

more so influence it’s having on every day

That blog post is shaping my take on this.

and yet I was not offered a contract for next year... :(

I read this post yesterday and was no longer stressed out about curriculum, but more about my kiddos well being

That horse is everything.

Love this picture LOL

I will be sharing a lot of these to my district. This is what we all need to hear.

we're all stick footin' it now people. haha!

Dan, how do I get back to the PP slides? They disappeared from the screen for me

We weren't' even told to plan for remote teaching. Only to make a work packet" for our students. This was on Tuesday.

Dan - click “close” in top left of screen

closed for two weeks - may change

We're going to close next week...

it will close your chat and show pp slides in

I teach at an online school but started mid-year without training.

Join us on student.desmos.com class code: NRDNTC

currently closed Fri/Mon and PD day Tuesday. Feeling like we'll be eventually closed

Closed for this week, and remote learning next week

We don't know yet.

Jeremiah Ruesch

can you give the link again. my internet went out briefly

is there a i don’t know?

We are doing both. There isn’t an option

we don't know here yet either

I am curious to see how many of us do not know yet

Ha you know they haven't told us yet!!

We haven't heard...

We don’t know yet.

We are not sure, will find out on tuesday

Synchronous sounds like it' would be such a demand on students

Kids are just expected to do work. NO specific meeting times...

We're doing BOTH

Both. Have plans to do both.

Students got a hastily thrown together packet of worksheets. as they left on Friday

then March 23-April 3 distance learning will need to be provided for all schools in our district

krf9763@lausd.net

it's great to get started now. A anything can happen and at least some of us will be ready...

Need option for: district has no idea what we are doing! :)

We're really asynchronous, but we can host live lessons if we want

We don’t know yet :/

staff webinar daily

yes we can use video

Jules Bonin-Ducharme

we were told no online school work for the next 3 weeks in Ontario

krf9763@lausd.net

Has not yet been considered

google classroom is widely used in upped elementary at our school

I'm curious as to why video WOULDN"T be allowed. Anyone have insight in that?

assuming yes, but no real direction yet

No formal plan as of yet. Wednesday will be a work from home remote conference day.

Jamie Nordstrom

We made plans on Friday, then our status changed - we haven't had a chance to replan yet

courses not allowed in Quebec

Some places require captioning for all video.

Would love if anyone can point me to resources for formative/summative assessment using desmos

Building the plane when it is in the air.

“Building the plane when it is in the air.” +1

YAY! No pressure, no guilt! Got an email from my AP this morning informing of this. I'll stay to learn, though.

Another “building the plane” here. We learned last night that we would be going online. We will be meeting together Monday to try and figure it out.

All these resources are linked in the agenda here: bit.ly/des-distance1

Thanks Stephanie!

Can we access the new middle school curriculum?

Sara — a lot of that curriculum, ironically, is on-paper and requires being in-person. We’re also worried that effective implementation requires support (which is part of why we won’t be able to let in as many people as we want even next year, as we scale up our support). That said, we will keep polishing up activities and releasing them in the coming weeks

Looking forward to more new activities, the recently released have been fantastic!

Is there any way for you to speak live audio during a Desmos activity?

Ryan — our recommendation would be to have something like zoom (free for schools that are closed!) in the background along with an activity, if you’re trying to do synchronous learning

Eli - thanks for the response! I agree with Suzanne -- the recently released activiites are awesome. Maybe y'all can speed up the future releases?! :)

Is there a way to print student responses (or otherwise download an electronic report) for each student to make for easier grading?

I have students who need support with reading and writing English. I’ve been thinking about putting each of the slides onto a FlipGrid side to support students reading and allow them to respond without having to write. Not sure how it’ll work but that’s my idea for now. Anyone else have ideas or done something that works for these types of situations?
