Adobe Creative Cloud boasts excellent applications for productivity and creativity, however, it is quite expensive! This site outlines several excellent alternatives for FREE resources to use instead of Adobe.

Check out Loom, a free cloud-based screen recorder. Loom has no limits on their free license regarding the length of video or how many videos you can upload. There are no watermarks on videos either. The interface is very similar to YouTube and allows for setting different levels of privacy. This could be a great solution for your students who might create video.

This is a cloud based music software that I use in my music classroom. Students can create their own music and share it with others. There is a collaboration feature that allows students and teachers to work together on a song. One of my favorite tools is the podcasting feature. My students instead of written summative tests create a series of podcast episodes where they speak about what they have learned, and they can collaborate together and even have guests on their episodes. This podcasting feature is great for students who struggle with writing and are better with speaking.
