Digital Tools for Teaching

The resources accessible through these links provide possibilities for hybrid and online education platforms or tools.  There are many other digital tools that can be used to enhance teaching that can be found at the Digital Tools for Ministry page. That page will include resources for audio and visual tools that can be used in many settings.

A collaborative space where people can share ideas or thoughts around a common idea or question. People do not have to have accounts to post on a Padlet wall, but you do want to have an account to create and save them.

SlideShare
A place to upload power points and presentations to be accessible via the Internet

Voice Thread
A multimedia cloud platform that allows slides, images, files and links to be uploaded and presented. Participants then comment on these slides using voice, video, or text. It is an excellent platform for a more engaging and community building experience than a text discussion board alone.  You can create a free account which has some limitations, but academic licenses are available.  The Library YouTube page offers a tutorial for students.
