am now a part of this group of educators!
This week I learned that the Desmos Calculator was "born" in 2012 and I have been trying to think back to when I first came across Desmos & started using it. The furthest I seem to be able to go back to is an email to my principal at the time, at my current school, back in April 2016.
Like I said earlier, it still hasn't suite sunk in that I am part of the Desmos Fellows Cohort 7. I know I will have more to say about this later on, but for now, I think my biggest takeaway is the connections I have made with other passionate math educators from around the country who love to support students in math classrooms as they learn and love incorporating technology to improve the teaching and learning process. I also got to fangirl over & socialize with some of my favorite math social media educators, like Fawn Nguyen & Benjamin Dickman!
Every single person I talked to these past 48 hours welcomed me, taught me something, encouraged me & inspired me, whether they were a new Desmos Fellow like myself, or they were from an earlier cohort, or they worked at Amplify or Desmos! We did math together, we shared stories about our classrooms, we enjoyed some very delicious food & beverages, and my heart is just so full!
I cannot wait to get some time to process it all, after I take some time to rest for a bit and enjoy my summer (we are only in week three of our break here in NYC after all and between the MfA Summer Think last week & Desmos Fellows this week, I am looking forward to enjoying some time "vibing" with my two kids.
