Topics We'll Cover
Enriched math.
You'll design math activities that ask students to do more than just calculate and compute.
Interpretive feedback.

Engaging animations.
You'll use the Desmos Graphing Calculator to create dynamic animations that support and interact with student thinking.
Connecting students to each other and themselves.
You'll use Computation Layer to help students learn from each other and also build on their existing knowledge.
