  • You love watching terrible videos that don't help at all

FABULOUS!

Jillian T.

Technically Desmos was FABULOUS! Maggie's videos are very informative! Her instructions are very clear and make coding the computation layer easy to understand! Bonus - she is funny and energetic! Loved this course.

The most useful course I have taken!!

Melanie A.

Technically Desmos is BY FAR the most useful course I have taken (and I am truly a course junkie). Sure, sure I could look everything up, but the course showed me things I didn't even know were possible - like displaying a video when a question is answered incorrectly. Game changer!

I finally understand Desmos!

Kenzie W.

Prior to Technically Desmos, I had NO IDEA how easy it is to make custom activities and assessments to meet my multiple curriculum standards. Coming from someone who has literally no coding background… Maggie makes it unbelievably easy to code through the CL! My students have especially loved the self-checking aspect and I love that I can view students' screens from the Teacher Dashboard. I HIGHLY recommend it to all teachers. With Maggie’s help, Desmos will quickly become one of your favorite techie teacher tools.

So fun to watch!

Ellen L.

Technically Desmos has everything you need to make amazing activities for your students! Maggie's videos are so clear and fun to watch. She explains how to code everything you could possibly want to do in Desmos and even more that you didn't think was possible. It's so easy to code in Desmos with Maggie's help!

Maggie has you covered!

Anne K.

If you are looking to learn anything and everything about creating your own Desmos activites, Maggie has you covered. Technically Desmos helped revolutionize the way that I create activities for my students and allowed me to add a new level of engagement to my lessons. If you are at all interested in creating your own activities in Desmos, do not hesitate to sign up.

The laughs, the drama, the passion!

Katie P.

Technically Desmos is amazing! It has everything you need – the videos, the workbook, the expertise, the laughs, the drama, the passion! As someone with at least a little background in Desmos, this course was still so helpful. I’m able to reference the videos and workbook anytime I go to create a new activity. It has really benefited my students to use self-checking activities! Maggie is awesome and I’m so grateful I signed up for this course!!!
