Top 5 Apps to Make Virtual Lesson Interactive
How to make Zoom or Google Meet lessons more interactive and engaging? What are the best teaching apps for Google Meet and Zoom? This video tutorial, will make suggestions about best apps for teachers and how to enhance students engagement and interaction.
It looks like we've become quite familiar with using Zoom / Google Meet to deliver lessons to students. However, most often than not, online lessons look more like lectures than actual student-centered lesson.
I think it's time we make a shift towards more interactive and engaging online lessons. In this video, I suggest a few simple steps that you can take to add more dynamic activities into your lessons so learners stay engaged and interested.

This was very helpful for one of my assignment questions. The question asked me to explain how I would use ICT tools in a fun way in order to achieve more student success, engagement or contribution from students during my lesson. I included some of these applications that you mentioned in your video. Thank you for creating such an educational video and thank you for creating amazing content that helps student teachers as myself.

Wish you all the best and once again thank you for sharing!

Hello from a fellow teacher of English from Russia :-) Thanx, it was very helpful. I already knew online stopwatch and quizizz but the others are new to me. I also use a number picker spinner from online stopwatch to pick a number when playing boardgames with young learners. They love spinners more than interactive dice haha

Thanks for the comment! Spinners and trackers are by far the most engaging teaching aids when it comes to young learners. Have you seen my video on PowerPoint games? I review a couple of tools that I'm sure you will be able to plug into your lessons with the youngsters.
