"The web's best educational videos,
curated by teachers for teachers.
EduCrate is a media curation tool for teachers to create, share, and
explore collections ("crates") of educational videos from multiple sources."
As a teacher or learner, you can use Bibblio to discover, collect and curate the best free learning materials on the web in any format (videos, podcasts, web links, presentations and many more). It also lets you organize all of your curated materials into one single homepage that you can annotate and personalize before sharing it with your peers and students. To search for content on Bibblio, use the box in the top-right corner. 'Type a keyword and see the initial results. These may comprise users, collections and individual content pieces. From there, you can refine your search by typing another keyword or choosing a suggested one from the right-hand column.
You can refine the results further by filtering by format (video, audio, visuals, books and articles) or by re-ordering based on recency, popularity or shares. You can also save your favourite keywords by clicking on them in the search results title. Find them again via the Following tab on your profile menu bar.'

"When it is used correctly YouTube can be a good platform for spreading news about the great things that are happening in our classrooms and schools. It can also be a good platform for students to share their thoughts and projects. But before you upload videos to YouTube there are a few settings that you should be aware of. In the video embedded below I provide an overview of those settings."
Riddle quizzes and surveys can be image-based or simply text-based. You can add links to your Riddle quizzes and surveys. Those links could be to sources of information, to videos, or to an online audio recording like those you can find on SoundCloud. In the video embedded below I provide a demonstration of how to use Riddle to create a quiz.
"Versal is a new way for anyone to create and publish interactive online courses - no coding required. The site provides a simple to use editor to add content, which it then publishes and hosts for you. For free.
Versal uses a system of modules it calls gadgets to easily incorporate videos, surveys, quizzes, diagrams, and other tools to make your course more engaging. Gadgets are mini JavaScript apps that you drag-and-drop into into a course. The basics include text, video and images, but the real magic happens with customizable and interactive simulations, diagrams, timelines, flash cards and more."
