Interactives

Every tool we use in class, in one place. These are the same activities linked from the Learning Interactives module on Canvas, so you can go back to any of them without hunting through a module. Each one runs in the browser, checks your answers as you go, and needs no login. Bring a notebook, because the thinking still happens on paper.

Adding a new tool later

  1. Deploy the tool, or drop its HTML file in the site folder next to this page.
  2. Add one object to the TOOLS array in the script at the bottom of this page. Set status to "live" and point href at the file or the deployed address; add external:true when it lives on its own domain so it opens in a new tab.
  3. Add a matching card to the Learning Interactives module on Canvas so the two stay in step.
  4. If it belongs to a unit, drop a toollink into that unit's page as well, so students meet it in context.
  5. Rebuild, then drag the whole site folder onto the Netlify deploys tab. Never drop a single file.
