Promote Equity. Save your students from expensive handheld calculators and boost your remote teaching for math!
Dan Haiem
ClassCalc is a calculator app with a built-in lockdown browser that lets teachers lock students out of all outside distractions such as instagram, calls and texts, keeping students focused in class, and preventing cheating on tests (even remotely). * ClassCalc fully supports statistics, graphing, scientific and matrices. * ClassCalc’s graphing components are built on JSXGraph!
This session will discuss the lack of equity built into our math education system, in terms of 1) The current calculator paradigm, and how high costs are hurting our students, 2) How smartphone calculators are a great solution, but unfortunately, cannot be used during testing and 3) How ClassCalc - our lockdown calculator that allows professors to temporarily lock students on the app during tests/quizzes - is a potential solution for you. By preventing all outside notifications and distractions, ClassCalc turns student phones into a stand-alone calculator. This gives professors/teachers peace-of-mind during tests, and allows students/schools to save money on excessive calculator costs.
