Digital Text in the Classroom

One of my first introductions to Digital Text when it relates to math was in Math 3310 at USU.  We used the program GeoGebra.  I love that program and would like to use it in my classroom!  Now after some reading on digital text and it's importance, help, and much needed place in the classroom I plan to use it and many other digital platforms.

My new favorite is Desmos.com.  I just spent the last hour playing with my own graph!  I would love to spend some time drawing faces and other images with this program.  I think Desmos provides students with a great opportunity to use their own imaginations and their math skills to create fun images.  I have seen and read about the importance of expression and change for students.  Not everyone is made to sit in a desk and read a book- and that's a very good thing!  I would like to challenge my students and allow them the opportunity to do fun new things in the classroom by using digital text.

Here is an example of what I did today...
