Collaboration & Engagement

Backchannel chat allows you to hold a silent classroom discussion via chatroom. This can be effectively layered on top of other classroom instruction and encourage some students who may otherwise be reluctant to participate in discussions.

With FlipGrid, students can make short videos of themselves sharing information or reacting to a prompt. It's a fun and easy multimedia demonstration of learning.

Kami allows teachers and students to annotate, highlight, write, and otherwise interact over the top of a PDF (electronic document), greatly increasing flipped classroom and paperless classroom options.

Padlet is an online bulletin board that can house real-time student brainstorming, collective research, group feedback and more. You can add images, links, videos, and comment on each others' posts.
