Desmos is a free portal for building and sharing rich, interactive content. The objective of Desmos is to serve as a web-based, unifying standard for interactive lessons built around their browser-based collaborative environment for remote tutoring called a "virtual Whiteboard".

Professional content developers, publishers, and individual teachers all can create and distribute interactive content through the Desmos community. Teachers are no longer limited by the type of hardware in their classrooms. Lessons can be built on any computer and then used on the classroom's interactive whiteboards or on the go from a laptop or tablet.

You can also work together in real-time with other members of the Desmos community by  sharing your whiteboards.

Access Desmos by opening up a browser, the tool that allows you to see Desmos content. Desmos lessons saved on your hard drive can be viewed and used even if you aren't connected to the web.
