Nearpod is a tool that can help teachers make the class interactive. Teachers can create interactive presentations that include contents like videos, pdfs and audios or activities like polls, tests, open ended questions, matching pairs and quizzes. Students can gain access to these presentations through links and codes that teachers share with them. Teachers can share these materials either as live participation or student-paced.     Here's an example of Nearpod presentation. This is a powepoint slide I created a while ago but I added some contents on it with the help of Nearpod. We can add time limit and state a point for each question.

Flipgrid is a tool that allows you to create grids to facilitate video discussions. In each grid, teachers can post questions or some assignments for their students, and these are called Topics. Then, students can post video responses. These grids can be shared with students or even with some other teachers' grids for collaborative learning.  After signing up, teachers can create new Topics for students. They can arrange the amount of time that the videos should be(2-3 minutes or more).  Teachers can keep this grid special by allowing only the users with school's e-mail address.  It's a great tool to use in online education. Online education seems boring for students mos of the time. Ensuring an interactive lesson is teachers' hands. Users can upload and edit video, add more clips, cut and segment as well as enhance with emojis and texts. So, essentially, a simple video editing tool can produce a powerful result, depending on how creative you want to be!   ...

 Edpuzzle is a tool that teachers can assign students to watch videos. In Edpuzzle, teachers can add their own voices on the videos, ask both open ended and multiple choice questions or could want students to add further comments. The prominent feature of this tool is that teachers can see if students watch the videos that are assigned to them. Teachers can create their own videos or can upload videos from YouTube, Khan Academy, Ted or even, National Geographic.        In this example, there are some questions related to the topic. These questions are asked on the relevant parts to prevent confusion. Teacher also could have added some further comments.  Also, the video can be editted and can be cut to disclude irrelevant parts to the topic.
