I know that you as a Teacher can save a graph in Desmos and paste the link into Activity Builder, but I can’t seem to get students Desmos links to paste into an Activity Builder slide and recognize it.
Is there something you need to do differently in CL to make this happen?
I tried it too… unfortunately it’s not yet a feature (I think).
Why do you need this? Can’t you just import the graph for your students?
I thought it would be good for students to upload their finished product/graphs onto a page where I could see them instead of through an LMS. Having them all in one place for me instead of several different tabs. If they have done a lot of work (in folders, shading…) on another file (like Desmos Art), it is a lot to ask them to type them all in, but it is very little to import a link (like I can and often do) after doing the work in a Desmos file.
Here’s a little trick that I think might work.
Use the math response element, then on the element check the box “Ask students to explain their answer”
Then you can put this in the CL part (optional):
disableEdit: true # this only disables response editing AFTER the student sumbits, very weird
explainPrompt: "Submit your graph here:"
initialText: "Paste link BELOW this text:"
I used math response because the explain thinking part (I think) and response are recorded in the teacher dashboard. However… you still need to copy+paste the link into your browser to actually see the graph.
Hope this helps!
When I do an art project, I make a custom activity that has a blank full-screen graph in it, and have students do their work directly in there in the first place. (Sorry - this doesn’t help if they have already done their work in a separate graph!) I like this method because then you can easily see their work in progress and have it all in one place.
Yeah, she’s probably expecting them to have already done their work.
Not a bad idea, though.
