XKCD
You can ignore all my other sites, but
DON'T IGNORE THIS ONE!!
Description
- Math can be thought of as logical imagination. XKCD starts from an improbable assumption and then follows the logical outcome of that assumption.
- XKCD transcends all classifications.
- ISTE Standards: This website turns the standard to 11. It is that awesome
Price: Free
|
Class Size: No classes only greatness
|
Login required? Nope
- COPPA/FERPA compliant (I doubt it)
- To use the website you just need to be able to find it and read.
- Tips for teaching with this particular technology
- The best tip I can offer is to make sure you open this site up near the end of class. Otherwise you will burn up the entire class going down rabbit hole after rabbit hole.
- Limitations: Like all programs Desmos has a 'language' that must first be learned before the power of the site can be unlocked. Some students get frustrated at this stage and revert to pencil and paper before they can truly see what the website allows.
- The Relative Baseball one linked above is a great one, but there are dozens in the archive that will have you thinking, laughing, and forwarding to your friends. No purer form of math can be found on the internet.
