There seems to be a lot of stress about how to assess students in these online times. With kids already being stressed about school work I'm not sure if stressing them about assessment is helping. However, we still have to figure out a way to do it. Well @JRuelbach has been the @Desmos spokesmodel for assessment for years and she's got some ideas for you whether it's this new Tweet about using the comment feature while allowing students to annotate their own work or her one hour Desmos session on assessment in general.

Another new Feature on Desmos is one that we've been asking for for a while. That is, the ability to do some sharing between teachers. In this case, it's the ability to share dashboards between teachers. I think, given all this online learning, this would allow teachers to team teach during an online session.

Now that we are all online, you may want an easy way to show students math work in real time and specifically where you are almost like you are working on the same whiteboard together as if you are in class. To do this you can use a Google app like Jamboard and here's how
