ISTE Standards:
ISTE Standards:
- Students become Empowered Learners by reinforcing mathematical ideas on the powerful graphing calculator within Desmos.
- Students are Digital Citizens by recognizing the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of everyone while learning and working in an interconnected digital world in ways that are safe, legal and ethical.
- Students build as Knowledge Constructors by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions.
- Students become Innovative Designers using a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.
- Students will develop as Computational Thinkers and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions.
- Students can be Global Collaborators using Desmos to work with others, including peers, experts or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints.
Cool features:
Cool features:
- Free and easy-to-use tool that gives students a visual way to understand expressions, and teachers a powerful platform for instruction.
- As part calculator and part interactive simulation tool, Desmos is a standout example of inquiry-driven math with super-smart instructional supports.
- Want to connect with other math-minded educators to tap into education best practices?
Limitations:
Limitations:
- Desmos is limited as a collaboration tool within itself but can be used as a collaborative tool in a group setting.
- Without significant help, less experienced students (and teachers) might struggle when things get complicated.
