Canva is already heavily used at my school, and allows for significant creativity in creating projects and presentations for various subjects.

Jigsaw grouping is an instructional strategy that asks groups of students to individually become "experts" in a specific piece of a larger lesson, and then return back to their home group to tell the other group members about their topic.

This is an online timer that allows students to block out longer segments of work into more manageable chunks - this can be hugely helpful for students who struggle with time management.

This website allows an easy transformation of google slides into flashcards - this can be helpful for ELs or other students who may struggle with vocabulary.

I love using Kahoot - it is a fun and easy way to review music theory concepts, and allows for all students to test their knowledge in a formative assessment-style environment.

This is a helpful tool for emotional regulation; students can use this to center their breathing in crisis, or just to simply transition from their previous class to the current one they are in.

ReadAloud

This is a google chrome plugin that helps uses text to speech in order to read webpages out loud. This can be helpful for students who struggle with written words, or simply want to hear the words they are reading alongside reading them.

Dictation

This is a website that helps students dictate their words; it can transcribe dictation in multiple languages!

Google Translate

This may seem obvious, but google translate is a huge stopgap for my ELs. Sometimes, it is helpful to use tools like these in non-English classes, or they may want to input vocabulary terms so that they may better understand them in their primary language.
