Flipgrid is a resource for making Jeopardy-style games. It doesn't link you to student responses in the same way some of the other platforms like Kahoot or Quizlet do, but it is a good option to have on hand, particularly for students that want to use this as a componant to a presented lesson.

Quizizz is similar to Kahoot but with the added bonus of being able to display the quiz questions directly on all student devices. It also has a large library of premade quizzes from teachers and students all around the world.

This app is now on all library iPads so theoretically, a class could borrow them so they all had an iPad in front of them and their devices could be freed up (or put away) depending on need.

Adobe Spark has been a popular free program for creating multimedia presentations for a while now. There is a "video" version and a more text-heavy "pages" version. Watch the video below to get a sense of the options available, even just in the free version.

Emaze is a super visually appealing platform for creating presentations. Because it contains such a robust catalog of templates and tools, it probably is more powerful in older grades. However, it can be made simple for those who are more comfortable sticking with the basics. For those who wish to pursue extended enrichment opportunities, they can dive into a deep well of features.

Powtoon is an interactive presentation format that is vastly more engaging that google slides or powerpoint. The free version still has enough features to allow it to be more visually appealing and engaging than traditional presentations.

Great tool for adding hyperlinks to a photo. One possible idea for use would be to have students have an image open in thinglink and to take notes actively by laying in facts and pictures

The Newseum has a really robust site that contains a huge volume of maps, primary sources and more.

This is a map making resource where students can create their own fantasy world. It is one way to incorporate coding into a project where you want students to create a utopia/distopia and establish a government or teach about the flow of a planet's resources. To take it a step further, students can first generate and re-name a map here, and then import it into another mapping program to mark up, or even beyond that, bring it into coSpaces to get a "virtual view".

This is another platform that could have probably been placed anywhere on the tech menu. The best part of this tool is that the incoming 5th graders have had experience building sites so they will be able to jump right back in. Here is an example of a site created by a student last year. Here is another example of "sites" in action with a 5th grade reading group project.

While Google Earth has been around for a while now, the recent updates are really eye popping. The possibilities with which you can use Google Tour Builder alone make it a very powerful tool in teaching social studies and geography.

This is a powerful way to help students gain perspective of time and space. There are multiple views that you can toggle between and many students can collaborate to create a master timeline

360Cities is a free catalogue of 360 Photos and Videos from around the world. THOUSANDS of pictures that students can immerse themselves in with or without VR headsets. Check out a few of the many ancient greek sites the 5th graders could explore. Best of all, this resource can be paired with CoSpaces as the images are free for the students to use.

CoSpaces could actually live anywhere on this menu as it is more a platform where students can create a 3-D world embedding any content they wish. One particularly powerful possibility is having students create a virtual museum, either collectively or individually. Students wishing to code may do so as it can use drag and drop for the non-coder, block based coding for the novice coder, and java for the advanced coder. As a cherry on top, students can explore their world, museum, etc... using a virtual reality headset.

This resource, Epic, is a digital library of over 30,000 books, free to educators where students can keep a bookshelf of fiction and nonfiction. Excellent extra option for research resources, as well as for igniting an interest in pleasure reading. I am happy to set this up for you and your class if you are interested in using it.

Maps, 360-degree videos and photos, virtual field trips, links to digital resources for exploring both the physical world, and its tapestry of human culture, and more... This menu also contains a collection of options for giving students choice in demonstrating their knowledge on independent projects
