The following tools are designed to increase student engagement with online sessions.

Pear Deck – Pear Deck provides an add-on to Google Slides that allows synchronous or asynchronous interactive engagement with any slide presentation. Create a Peardeck educator account at https://www.peardeck.com/remote-learning-educators then add Pear Deck from within Google Slides under “Add-Ons” in the slides menu.

Flipgrid – Flipgrid is a curated, short-video creation space where students can record and post brief videos in response to a query or prompt from a mentor. Videos can be shared just to the mentor or shared to everyone in the flipgrid. It’s simple, fairly easy to use, and free. Create an account and try it here: https://info.flipgrid.com/

Jamboard – Jamboard is Google’s free, interactive whiteboard – a Jamboard link shared to students allows simultaneous, real-time collaboration with pens and sticky notes. You can ‘write’ on a blank whiteboard or paste an image down as background. Access from a gmail account at: https://jamboard.google.com/

Google Forms – Google forms offers simple, quick surveys with diverse question formats that can generate almost immediate collective feedback. As the author of a Google Form survey, you can then share the summary responses anonymously back to all participants. Link can be shared in Zoom chat, by email, or posted on a website. Create your own survey at: https://docs.google.com/forms

Here’s a short slide set that shows what each of these tools looks like with a few examples: Tools for Remote Engagement
