![]() Wakelet is an online platform that allows teachers and students to "save, organize and present multimedia content." I love the way that it allows information to be organized and easily accessible for students. Since it can be shared with a link, Wakelet can be used with multiple LMSs. Check out a collection I created with links and resources from this site: https://wke.lt/w/s/McvYoZ.

This amazingly engaging program is broken into three areas. Spark Post allows students to create graphics, such as flyers, social media posts, and picture collages. Students can use Spark Page to create presentations and web pages. Spark Videos helps students take videos and put them together in a presentation video format. Adobe Spark works on a variety of devices and is completely web-based, so no need to download anything. It works with Google Drive, Google, Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft One Note, Canvas, and Flipgrid. It also has a whole section of educator resources to support teachers using it in their classroom. If you're looking for another way to engage your students in learning, make sure to check out Adobe Spark!

Edpuzzle is a great ed tech program to use for student engagement. It allows teachers to choose videos from YouTube, embed your own assessment questions, and track your students' progress. It also has precreated video assessment that teachers can choose from as well.
Edpuzzle offers a free version and paid version. The free version provides almost the same features as the paid version, with the exception of the number of videos you can have uploaded at one time. The training slides below can be used to learn more about Edpuzzle and how to use it to engage your students. It also contains step by step videos for how to use Edpuzzle and set up your account.

![]() Seesaw, like Flipgrid, is an excellent way to engage students in learning. I highly recommend it (even more than Flipgrid) if you teach lower elementary students. Similar to Flipgrid, Seesaw has a photo and video recording feature. However, it also has options for students to draw pictures, write notes, upload files, and add links. The design looks fun and exciting for lower elementary students, but can start to look too babyish for students outside of elementary school. There are a number of ways you can Seesaw to engage students. Here are just a few of those ways:

The video feature allowed my 5th grade students to show their understanding in a different way. For many of them, it was also a lot more fun than traditional pencil and paper responses. The few who struggled quickly got over seeing themselves in a video and soon learned to love it too. Besides providing engagement opportunities, it was also easy for teachers and students to use. There are so many ways you can use Flipgrid to engage your students. Here are just a few of those ways:
