Flipgrid           
This website allows students to record videos to answer questions. They can then respond to other students’ videos. Pros to this website are that students get the opportunity to incorporate technology, can be as creative as they want, and can be done at home or in school. Cons are that videos are limited in time, students have to write out what they are going to say so they do not run out of time, some students might not have a device that can record.   

Kahoot           
This is an interactive quiz game for students to participate in. The teacher has the ability to use games that are already created or create a customized quiz/game. Pros to this website are students love it, it is interactive, students can participate from anywhere, and data about each question is instant. Cans to this website are that this too can be overused and students can become disengaged, students can share the code with people in other classes and can cause the game to go arrive.
 

Google forms           
This can be used as an online quiz. Teachers can create short answers, multiple-choice, or true and false question forms. Pros to this are that the information is gathered for the teacher, easy to create, and easy for students to complete. Cons to this are that it is an online quiz and there is only so much flexibility in creation.
