What are these tools?
Normally, I would only write about one particular tool in a post, but both these tools are similar in their function, so I thought it would be helpful to have a side by side comparison. Both of these tools allow you to take online videos and add content via different response questions. While similar in function, each tool has things that are exclusive to them and have different look and feel for their interfaces.Look at the graphic below to see some of the similarities and differences:
Classroom implications
Regardless of which tools you use, they both web-based tools that can be accessed and used at any time of day, it is a perfect tool for creating a flipped, or blended learning environment. Using these tools, students can go through the content at their own pace and review content as needed. Also, you can have students view content at home and then you don't have to take time in class to go over it.
Until next time at the café.....stay warm!
