Appear.in
Appear.in is a free video conferencing tool for up to 8 people. No logins or installs necessary! To set it up, create a room, share the link, and there you have it! Think about ways to use it in the classroom: invite a guest speaker, explore geography, interview someone, allow a student to join in from home, or even challenge another class to a Kahoot! game.
Epic BYOD Toolchest
Epic BYOD Toolchest provides 51 tools you can start using now! I really want to try the Google add-on Kaizena. It allows you to provide multi-sensory feedback on student work. Many of these tools listed will ring a bell because they're available to us within the district. Go to the itslearning staff course planner to check out Forsyth County's Epic BYOT Toolchest!
