Teachers Talk About Lesson Facilitation Tools

  • Use pacing, pausing, snapshotting, and anonymizing for facilitating great mathematical discourse. 
    –Angie Neff Stephens, Orange County Schools, Hillsborough, NC

  • The ability to make anonymous was by far the best feature. I would project a slide and we would have whole class discussions about answers without calling out specific students. My 8th graders felt safe enough to take risks in their answers and we had more valuable conversations around mistakes and misconceptions.
    –Annie Diver, Center Cass School District, Downers Grove, IL

  • For multiple choice, project teacher view and anonymous mode to show the distribution of answers to show the lack of consensus which could get students talking about why a wrong answer is wrong.
    –Martin Joyce, Millbrae School District, Millbrae, CA
