Screenrecording

Animated Presentations
MySimpleShow allows teachers and students to create short, animated presentations. Write a script, choose your images and animations, and MySimpleShow will do the rest! There are a number of educational templates, such as summarizing literature, summarizing a biography, and explaining a scientific or mathematical concept. Creating an animated presentation can be completed quickly and easily.
Discussions and Feedback
Flipgrid is an online bulletin board that allows teachers and students to record short videos for posting and viewing by others. Post a topic and students can respond from anywhere on any device. Flipgrid can be used to enhance discussions or as a formative assessment tool, allowing students to demonstrate what they have learned in a new way.
Digital Formative Assessment
Wizer allows teachers to create online worksheets incorporating interactive features such as drag-and-drop, multimedia, matching, sorting, diagram/image labeling, and much more. Students can also record responses and feedback as audio commentary so it can be used with young students who are developing reading skills.
