Nearpod is a nice tool to use in your classes. It makes learning more interactive. First, you open a lesson. You can create contents and activities for your students. As a content, you can give website links, slides, PDFs, videos etc. As an activity, you can create open-ended questions, matching exercise, quizzes, fill in the blank kind of questions and collaborative board similar to Padlet. Also, there is an option to combine videos with questions. You see, there are a bunch of option to enrich your classes.   

  Quizlet is an application that I think is the best way to learn new words, concepts etc. On the homepage, you simply click on "create" and then "study set". Here, you add a title and a description if you want to. You have to spaces that are parallel to each other. The first one is for term, and the other one is for definitions. You can choose different languages for the terms and definitions. Once you are finished and all saved up, you can see your set on "your library" section. You have different kinds of practicing tool on Quizlet such as flashcards, writing, matching etc. Here is a set that I created for adjectives for TV Programs: Click  

  Padlet is a collaborative platform in which users, in our case students and teachers, can upload, organize and share content. You can create a board and post, for example, questions. After that, your students can answer your questions real-time. As they write, the answers are posted there immediately. Also, because they have the chance to do it anonymously, it will be easier for them to join the class without feeling insecure or shy. You can find it on smartphones and tablets as well.  Here is a Padlet that I created for another class: Click

Trello is a tool similar to Padlet. With Trello, you can work on your project on a board where you have the opportunity to add texts, images, links etc. As teachers, you can create a board and post whatever you like there, and your students can make additions on that. This way, you can work collaboratively and interactively with your students. The rest is up to your imagination. Here is the link to my Trello as an example: Click   How can I use Trello:
