Free digital educational tools to create interactive content for online teaching and learning

     Technology has the ability to enhance relationships between teachers and students. When teachers effectively integrate technology into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun. Students also develop positive feelings of exploitation by mastering new knowledge and skills using digitized learning tools. Here I am presenting some of the most popular free educational tools.

1. CurrikiStudio:

CurrikiStudio brings you the tools to create interactive learning content like never before. Free authoring software with mobile-first activities including interactive multimedia, images, games, virtual tours, and simulations. This is the very best tool to make interactive content like different image-based, video-based learning content, and comprehensive activities. You can also create listening comprehension activities by uploading audio. The audio-based tool is very useful to teach Phonics. Students can record their audio and check the pronunciation. 

2. Thinglink:

Thinglink allows educators to create interactive images with music, sounds, texts, and photographs. These can be shared on other websites or on social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook. ThingLink is a clever tool that makes annotating digital items super simple. You can use images, your own pictures, videos, or 360-degree interactive images for tagging. By adding tags, you can allow students to interact with the media, drawing more detail from it. You can create interactive images and videos by giving hotspots with a read-along option. Thinglink offers the possibility for teachers to create learning methodologies that awaken the curiosity of students through interactive content that can expand their knowledge. 

3. TEd Ed:

TED-Ed is an educational platform that allows creating educational lessons with the collaboration of teachers, students, animators—generally people who want to expand knowledge and good ideas. You can create learning activities around YouTube video and own videos by uploading into YouTube. You just find a video from Youtube and start creating activities. You can give different comprehensive questions before or after the video. You might want to set the video as homework. Students, teachers, and parents also work in this.

4. Soundcte JS:

Soundcite JS is a good tool to create interactive inline audio stories.  Audio is a powerful device that can add emotion or context to a story. SoundCite is a simple-to-use tool that lets you add inline audio to your story. The audio is not isolated; it plays right under the text you choose. You can add meanings to words, music to the sentences, audio to the story. This will help students to understand the story or lesson easily and also make it interesting.
