The Ed Tech 12 list #8 is...Desmos. Yesterday, I was chatting with John Meyers in the hall and he mentioned he was at a math conference recently and they were showing off Desmos. This is a recycled post from last years EdTech 12 list, but since this blog was not established at the time, my conversation with John reminded me that it might be worth reposting about this neat tool again...
Desmos is a free online graphing calculator geared for grades 6-12 that instantly plots an equation. It is also available in the Chrome App store for Chrome users and in the iTunes store for iPhones/iPads. This application will allow you to graph functions, plot tables of data, evaluate equations, explore transformations, and much more. Be sure to check out their classroom activities and if you are interested in learning more about Desmos, check out their YouTube Channel.
Welcome to The "Dean's" List, an EdTech blog created by Dean Haratsaris, Education Technology Specialist at Detroit Country Day School. Posts will consist of all things related to technology in education. Even though some of the content will be specific to Detroit Country Day, please feel free to follow as most of the information posted could be useful for all environments.
