Nearpod is an interactive slideshow tool that can be used synchronously or asynchronously and adds-on to google slides. Students do not need accounts- teachers give the students a link to go to. Students do need to enter their name. Interactive elements include matching, fill in the blank, drawing, and more.
Nearpod has a free and paid version. The free version has access to some free ready made lessons and access to a good variety of interactive elements.
