Recently, I have worked with other instructional coaches to work with Parlay. Parlay is a comprehensive discussion platform that allows students to interact with each other and their teacher, both virtually and in person. It supports student discourse and group discussions!

FlipGrid: Very easy to use! I had never heard myself teaching before so I really loved doing this little slide deck, with a voice-over, that my classmates could evaluate and provide coaching!

Padlet offers an easy way for students to share information. I have used them for "Someday Lists" as well as book reviews and to organize research articles.

I've learned this one from Rachel. I have used in the past to create peer feedback "quizzes" for students to provide each other feedback during their final presentations. You can create a "quiz" with questions about a presentation, and once you lunch the quiz, students will be able to answer the questions based on the presentation they saw. The online program will generate the responses in a spreadsheet, and you can share the feedback given by peers with each student that presented their final - Joao Goebel

WeVideo was an absolute lifesaver for me during the pandemic! I was able to post a video easily for asynchronous instruction easily and editing is a snap. My district has kept the professional subscription that we have, so I have even used it to record something when I am gone and post it on Google classroom.

I have suggested students use Loom or YouTube to record their final presentations/reflections. It is a great way to record and share videos since both platforms generate links. Many students have shared that they created a YouTube channel to continue sharing content with others. I also use my YouTube channel to share content with students in my courses - Joao Goebel

Use Loom to record quick videos of your screen and cam. Explain anything clearly and easily – and skip the meeting. An essential tool for hybrid workplaces.

For content creation, I depend on google slide deck, Quizizz, and EdPuzzle for introducing and explaining the topics. Google slide deck helps me include images, links, and examples whereas Edpuzzle and Quizizz allow the students to interact and apply their knowledge.

I use Google Slide Deck, Jamboard, and Padlet for students to interact and work together. They allow students to view, react to, and give peer feedback to each other contributions.

Students love a Kahoot, although I'm not sure how helpful quizzes are for me in assessing my students as writers. I use them mainly to get conversations going and give students a break. I'm not sure these would help in an all digital environment, but to mesh digital and in-person learning, I like to use the team mode on quizlet, where students have to work together because each phone only shows some of the answers. I have coached in classrooms where they use Plicker and this gathers data that seems helpful for teachers. Holding up the little tetris-shaped cards you use to answer questions seems to gamify learning for students and it is more private than Kahoot or Quizlet.

I mentioned that I wanted students to collect ideas/inspiration for writing wherever they go, and my colleague, Marie Becker, suggested introducing digital versions of "commonplace" books.  Check out the linked example that she made for me! The tool isn't new: her suggestion is to use Google docs, but it could be any platform. I like the idea of taking an analog thing like an inspiration notebook and making it a digital practice for students as part of the creative process. Here is a NYT article on the same idea: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/technology/personaltech/make-digital-commonplace-book.html

I lean heavily on Google Slide Decks when I teach. I have our main slide deck guide us through that day's lesson plan, and embed videos and links to additional online content as needed (such as links to their etextbooks, Jamboards, Padlets, Google Docs, etc.). I also link in a separate slide deck for each group for in-class group activities--this provides an easy, familiar collaborative tool for them, and an easy way for me to check on how they are doing and what questions they might have. I also don't have to worry about chasing after anyone to turn in work done during class, as I have already collected it in the Google Slides. Here is an example of a slide deck I used for my freshman public speaking class this past term (our lesson for the day was on learning about different types of research).
