I would recommend Google Classroom for many educators. I think it would be most accessible for students in 4th grade and up. It has many features and continues to evolve regularly. It can be use in a multitude of ways and links with other platforms, such as EdPuzzle, which makes it nearly all encompassing.

This video is my ScreenCast giving an overview of the program.

It's hard to deny that Google Classroom is the most useful platform for all stakeholders (teachers + parents). I like Flipgrid and there is a use for it in my primary classroom, but Google Classroom is versatile and can meet the needs of most classroom teachers of any age group.

While the concept of video responses was alluring, the platform is limited in its purpose. I can see this platform playing a specific role in presenting or responding but that is about it. There are a lot of 'extras' to sift through with the stickers and emojis. I can imagine young students getting distracted and lost in those fun options.

Flipgrid was the platform I chose to explore. I was really intrigued by the concept of video responses, as primary students could contribute their thinking without being limited by typing/spelling.

I have seen google classroom used in my son's classes - and I was able to log in and easily access the materials that Kristen posted.  It is logical, easy to access, and easy to submit assignments using the "turn it in" feature.

Based on my limited trial of backchannel, I would not recommend it for use in teaching a new subject or topic.  From what I can see, it could be an effective chat platform - but, not much more.  https://backchannelchat.com/chat/nkymb

I tried a free version of Backchannel.  It was very limited in what I could do - I was unable to add anyone to it - but, rather could share a link with my group
