Blendspace  Blendspace lets you create your own  interactive lessons or use those from other educators. It comes in panel form. Each panel lets you add a video from youtube, upload your own content, quizzes, view student comments, images, pdfs, links, and more. Check out a preloaded Blendspace on a topic of your choice to assign, or just to see what can be done on a Blendspace.

Quizziz  Say goodbye to worksheets forever and hello to Quizziz. Create your own quiz or choose premade content from other teachers.

Screencastify Download from Chrome. This tutorial tells you all you need to know about how to make your screencast. Once you create your video it is easily uploaded to your drive or youtube.

Symbaloo is a bookmarking service. It hosts all the online content you want assembled, or that you created. See the homepage of our library catalog for an example.
