My Take
This product is simple, easy, and accessible to all students. It is free and can be accessed at home to help students with homework and studying, as well as during class for class discussion and class content exploration. This site is great for teaching introduction to Calculus, specifically.
How I Use It
This product is excellent for demonstrating the parts of equations and what can be done to manipulate them, such as what makes the graph expand? stretch? flip? rotate? What does sin look like? cosine? tangent? etc. It worked very well for teaching basic equations, for teaching what the graph looks like in relation to each equation. This site aids students with graph identification and recognition.

Highly customizable and quick to use
Since this teaching tool is completely online, it's very accessible to students and all setup required is just going to the website. Rather than downloading a calculator so that I can display visuals of certain equations, I can put them up with ease. The tool is fast and streamlined but does take a bit of getting use to, to utilize it at its full potential. However, its still a great tool and worth it to learn as an educator, and to teach to students.
