Amplify has a single entryway for educators with a new look and feel for the new school year. The Educator Home page provides ready access to lesson-related content and student data. The Recommendations have been streamlined, and a new Quick Links section gives convenient access to other parts of the platform.
The example screen shots in this article show an educator with additional Amplify programs. In this article, only the features relevant to Amplify Desmos Math will be described.
After logging in to learning.amplify.com, you’ll arrive at Educator Home, where you’ll find a streamlined way to access your assessment, reporting, and instructional tools. Educator Home may appear different from the example depending on your institution’s licensed products.
