The simulations are animated, interactive, and game-like environments where students learn through exploration. They emphasize the connections between real-life phenomena and the underlying science, and help make the visual and conceptual models of expert scientists accessible to students.

As instructors, you can set up assessments with the answers. After students' submission, the answers are able to show up and they can check by themselves most of the time. I am a language teacher, the most favorate part for me is to combine all kinds of questions (including listening, speaking) in one assessment and to give the oral feedback as a choice.

It is an online brainstorming tool, where students can post anonymous sticky notes/images/ideas/etc. to build their thinking or make contributions

This is a project-based learning tool to track students' progress on inquiries and projects. Teachers can customize the steps and students can share work with the teacher for feedback and to show their progress.

Common Lit is a repository of short stories, larger texts, poetry, etc., for all different grade levels and lexile levels. Texts are labelled with these levels, and can be easily shared with students. They also come with assessment questions (multiple choice check-ins, mostly) and discussion questions to prompt and extend student thinking ]]> 2023-05-29 19:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ELCC/kjmt92wr0qcrmdss/wish/2608162471 https://padlet.com/ELCC/kjmt92wr0qcrmdss/wish/2609075897 Book Creator has been an excellent tool for the creation of portfolios. It offers the students the opportunity to add text, visual and voice notes, as well as being able to bring in a creative element as well.

I frequently use the Quizlet Live feature as a vocabulary warm up at the start of class, and through this class I've loved learning that the decks can be easily embedded into Canvas. 
Caveat emptor: The Havergal tech audit of the tool noted that it's best used with a QuizletPlus account, should avoid using Google sign-in, and should opt out of promotional and marketing communication where possible.

It's also got quite robust analytics on the backend, so it's easy for teachers to see who has/hasn't completed work, provide feedback, and identify areas for greater support. Students also receive immediate feedback and helpful explanations for incorrect answers The skills are also designed to align with Ontario provincial curriculums. It is a paid subscription service, but in many ways, worth the cost.

This game-based math app has thousands of  activities and fun games where students have plenty of opportunities to learn and practise new concepts. It can be used for extra support, to keep fast task finishers entertained while learning, and it provides assessment in the app for teachers to collect. When students get a question wrong, the app reviews the concepets instead of just marking it. There's also an embedded whiteboard and calculator.
