1. NearPod
It is a multimedia presentation and feedback tool. The input can be in the form of text, images and video. The feedback can be in the form of multiple choice, short answers and even drawings. It isn't a great tool for differentiation, but it allows a teacher to keep everyone lockstep on the same page, literally. That can provide a great bonus in terms of concentration as students won't be distracted by other pages on their devices.
Below is the NearPod lesson we will use in class. The in-class lesson will be in Live Particpation mode. Below is a student paced version - great for homework or remote learning situations. Try it!
There are a lot of free, high quality lessons you can use. If you have a free account, you can still have 40 students using this software
Here is a snapshot of some other resources in the NearPod library:

2. Read Aloud
This is an extension for Chrome, Firefox and Edge that allows students to get the text in a webpage to be read aloud. You can select which text to get read out, which is a real help.
