Desmos For All
I was most impressed with the Desmos Graphing Calculator last year. It’s a powerful and user friendly graphical calculator.
It’s just been re-written from the ground up in HTLM5 which means it will work perfectly on an iPad or other tablet. It’s genuinely impressive and exciting to see what magic coders are starting to weave with HTML5.

Excellent Online Graphing Calculator
The team at Desmos.com have released a fantastic online graphing calculator that draws graphs as you type - it’s brilliantly clear and responsive and will be a fantastic free tool to use in the classroom.
This tool will be part of the wider Desmos suite of software which aims to allow teachers to share and create quality content online. The software looks to be designed in the vein of Interactive Whiteboard Software that comes bundled with Smart & Promethean boards, but it will be free and will make sharing your ‘whiteboards’ online easy. I’ve just received a beta invite for the software so will report back when I’ve had time to play around with it.
