Teachers and students can work on those walls collaboratively. On this wall, users can share texts, document, visuals, videos and audios. Those posts can be shared open to public or privately. From brainstorming board to live question banks, there are lots of ways to use Padlet. It is only limited by the imagination of the users. Trello       Trello has similar aims with Padlet but has more specified for related to specific subjects. Teachers and students can use Trello as a notebook. One of the differences between none-digital notebook is users can add links, visuals etc. Required information and clues, complicated datas can be saved orderly.

Moreover, teachers can edit those already produced videos in order to spesify the content. By the chosen videos, lessons can be more fun and effective. Lesson related videos increases the cognition of the learners. I said Edpuzzle is extensive as the facilites of this tool is not limited with just videos.

Edpuzzle can easily and effectively meet teachers overall needs.

  Edmodo is a professional, but at the same time simple, useful, secure platform for both teachers and students. Especially during the distance education days, teacher have to manage their classrooms by applications or websites. These tools need to be simple and understandable for both teachers and students, as we talk about for all the education family, some of the teachers or students may not be capable of dealing complicated tools. Moreover, these tools need to be meet the teachers and students needs. Edmodo provide all of these needs with professional and simple interface.

     PearDeck is designed for more interactive lessons, especially in online education. In online education, keeping students engaged and energized is very challenging for teachers. Slides may become boring at some point. However, PearDeck provides more interactive and fun enviroment during remote and hybrid lessons. PearDeck's interface is very simple and users of the website do not need to use any additional applications. Only two separate website tabs are enough. PearDeck provides teacher to add interactive assesment questions and students can answer these questions spontaneously and can get feedback from their teachers. It is quite useful for both teachers and students.
