Nearpod is an amazing resource to use for online learning. With the free version you are able to create and conduct live classroom trainings. You can add your voice to every slide or use the built in Immersive Reader function to make sure that every student has access and can read the material.
If your school has a district account, you can create student paced lessons that allow students to complete the lessons at their own pace. You can still add in audio, video, and use the IR features, but now you can also add in web pages and other links to support their work.
Whether you complete the lesson with your student, or let them complete it on their own, you will be able to gain a ton of feedback in the student reports after they complete the lesson. Try this out to personalize the learning process for your students.
