Throughout the year I will no doubt be posting a lot about Desmos. What is Desmos? I can't really tell you. It's basically an online tool that consolidates a lot of the programs that have existed for a while: Geogebra, mathopenref, Ti-nspire, even your TI-83. It allows students to assign sliders that manipulate values of mother functions. There are different exploration activities built in, similar to Ti-nspire lessons. There are ways to monitor student graphs and give feedback. Desmos is one of the reasons I am so hyped for 1:1, and I will no doubt be posting about it a great deal throughout the year.
