Online Library of tech tools

On this page you can find a complete set of websites that I believe are useful for teachers, organized by what they are used for. If you have tools that you use that you do not see on this list, please share them with me!

For multimedia presentations (students & teachers)

Google Slides - The easiest to use, in my opinion. Easily share presentations and collaborate with others. You can upload images, videos, and use a variety of themes.

WeVideo - You can record and edit a screencast, use your webcam, or upload other videos. Easy to use, and we have premium accounts!

Adobe Spark - Good for flyers, narrated slide shows, and creating fancy sites.

Canva - Makes eye-appealing posters and infographics.

Book Creator - Create your own books by uploading images, videos, and text. You can also record your voice to go along with each page.

Thinglink - Create interactive infographics.

Prezi - Professional looking presentations. Might be hard to navigate at first, but students and teachers have made very nice presentations using Prezi.

Pixton - Easily create professional looking comic strips using text bubbles and their library of cartoon images

Powtoon - Videos and presentations

For formative assessments (teachers)

Pear Deck - Easily make any Google Slides presentation interactive by getting the "Add-on" in Slides. You can add in various types of questions that students will respond to as you move through your slides.

Edulastic - Create quizzes/tests using a question bank, or make your own questions. Great for providing PARCC-style questions.

Classkick - Easy to use, and students are able to anonymously ask their peers for help and provide each other feedback right on their work.

Nearpod - Students respond the questions and teachers get immediate feedback.

Socrative - Same idea as Nearpod

GoFormative - Upload a PDF and add question bubbles that students can click on. Make any worksheet interactive in seconds.

For Creating/editing videos

WeVideo - Create and edit videos (Conrady has premium accounts)

Flipgrid - Students respond to questions with short video responses

Loom - Record your screen while you talk, trim the video, plus unlimited recording and unlimited storage all for free! Share your videos easily and see who has watched them.

Screencastify - Record your screen while you voice over it, or use your webcam. There's a 10-minute time limit and you cannot edit.

EdPuzzle - Great for a flipped classroom. Take a video from YouTube and add in questions that students answer before they continue watching

PlayPosit - Same idea as EdPuzzle.

For Language Arts/Reading Teachers
