Nearpod is an interactive option for instruction. There are lessons for different subjects and grade levels already created for use. You can choose to lead a lesson live or allow students to complete on their own pace.

Padlet- https://padlet.com/
Padlet is fun way to collect responses from students. Students can share images, links, or text depending on what the topic or question is that they're responding to. If you decide to set it up without registering the students, just remind them to sign their names if you need to know who is responding.

SMART Board Lessons- https://exchange.smarttech.com/
There are some great resources that you can use for lessons on your SMART Board. You will need to preview the lessons on the computer with SMART technology or the lessons may not open or display correctly. I recommend previewing lessons before doing them with students to make sure that it aligns with SC Standards.
