Executive Summary

In an effort to save my students money as well as to learn newer current technologies I have taught my students to use the Desmos Graphing Calculator along with the TI-84 Graphing Calculator. I have been able to show these new technologies to my in person students, but it has been harder for my online students since there are not instructional videos with the newer technology for handwritten math examples that I have. While there are instructional videos out there using Desmos, there are not instructional videos for these specific problems that match my students’ guided notes.

Therefore, I created videos parallel to those current TI-84 Graphing Calculator videos that show how to use the Desmos Graphing Calculator. I created videos that show my students how to use the newer technology, Desmos Graphing Calculator. This will help my students connect the two technologies of the TI-84 Graphing Calculator and the Desmos Graphing Calculator. This will also save my students money since they will not be required to purchase a TI-84 Graphing Calculator. The videos also include how to complete problems algebraically by hand as well. I have created additional video notes to align the order of including these new videos.

Google Slides

The Google Slides below have all of the materials embedded into them (video note handouts, videos, answer keys). I also included answer keys to go along with each major section of the video notes. Some also have additional extra calculator resources. These Google Slides are also embedded within MOER math assignments.

OER Textbook/Video Note Handouts

I created OER Textbook sections/video note handouts for each of the videos that I made. Each section has video notes to go along with the videos. The video notes were created as Google Docs so that they can continuously be updated and the students will have access to the newest version as it is being updated. The handouts below are included in the Google Slides.

Videos

The videos are linked in the Google Slides. The videos are also available on YouTube so that a larger audience outside of Maricopa Community Colleges can also access them as well.
