Tech 2 Evaluation

Desmos: Online Graphing Calculator
Likes:
- You can do virtually anything in Desmos's graphic calculator if you know your algebra and your math.
           Example 1
           Example 2
- It has an easy use calculator interface (entering various equations).
- You have access to a bunch of other's people's creations.

Dislikes:
- The page assumes you already know a lot of your math, and maybe with many of the tools, you can only use them if you have a lot of background knowledge.
-The instructional math videos aren't as clear as many people would wish.
-The colour interface to change the lines' colour is hard to find.\

Uses:
I could use it to do my math homework and graph parabolas.
I could use it to investigate different quadratic properties of lines.

Mentimeter: Online 1 Question Polls
Advantages:
-It is very simple and easy to use! You just put a question in, write the options down, and submit!
-It allows an easy access to the poll for people (tablets, phones), and a private access to your question.
-You can share it on Facebook, twitter, and many other places.

Drawbacks:
-The template options are very limited, only 2, so it is not very flexible.
- The code might take a while to implement in a meeting (the projected audience), and it might be impractical.
- The only 1 question option limits the surveys to extreme simplicity, and you would have to spend a lot of time answering a big survey.
