Create interactive activities for your classes.  As students work online, teachers are able to view each student's progress and leave individual feedback in real time.  

The activities you create may contain written explanations, calculations, sketches of graphs, or particle diagrams.  This is also a great resource for creating virtual card sort activities. 

DESMOS has traditionally been presented as a math teacher resource, but it's for ALL teachers. And it's free!]]> 2021-06-29 18:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1630455636 Kathryn kcstresak https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1631966866 I love the idea of prioritizing learning over grading, but my school requires 1 assessment grade a week.

I can scale assessments to be of varying weights by the number of questions, etc. But I could also probably call some of the formative assessments as classwork if advisable. All is in flux right now with grading policy evolving, but some advice here would be helpful. micheltripp https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1631978423 2021-06-30 16:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1631978423 Justin Bending https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1631979228 Is there a way to see the questions on the learning checkpoints before the students are assigned/taking it? ]]> 2021-06-30 16:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1631979228 Are there specific assessments that will be required https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1632073227 Where do we log those or how does that work?

]]> 2021-06-30 17:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1632073227 Blind assessments like these will be very useful for me to adjust my teaching and to give a more objective view of how we are all doing- as students and teachers. This will keep me on my toes, because there is a sense of accountability here for the teacher. micheltripp https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1632074181 2021-06-30 17:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cherireznicek/4qaibv2pf3jvll45/wish/1632074181 In regards to the final exam window-they have not determined dates that the final exam will be available, but this last year it was available from May 17-June 18.
