Digital Show and Tell – DESMOS.com

Monday, October 9th, I shared a tool that is used for math called desmos.com. Though not directly related to the humanities, it is a tool that can be used to assist understanding and learning of the humanities. One of our criteria talked about using the tool in a productive way, and I think tool does just that. It is a powerful tool and resource for teachers to pull in ideas to help further students’ understanding. In addition to that, it is user-friendly and relatively simple. Practically anyone who knows how to use a computer knows how to use this. It holds all the qualities of a graphing calculator but goes even beyond that to graph lines where could be multiple constants. I realize this is not a website that brings in humanity topics into its uses but it is a resource for connecting humanities to mathematics.
