This infographic features the #EduDuctTape Question "What tools allow for creation with video, animation, audio, and visuals? The Swiss Army Knife Multi-Tools!" In the response, which is shown on a tablet screen, is the following text "Book Creator - Add images, videos, audio, Google maps, web content, drawings, and more. Plus, in paid accounts, collaboration! Padlet - Add images, videos, GIFs, audio, screencasts, drawings, and more. Collaboration is free, but you have a limited number of “walls.” Seesaw - This LMS and digital portfolio hybrid tool lets students draw, annotate, record videos or audio, take pictures, and more! Genially - Create presentations, infographics, gamifications, and more with images, GIFs, videos, audio, maps, Forms, and more! Microsoft Sway - Add photos, videos, files, some web content, and more into this cool, animated slideshow and website hybrid.

The rest of the image shows the logos for the apps and sites that were mentioned as well as some books, and a student standing up with his hand raised.
Video, animations, audio, and visuals are all great options for getting an accurate depiction of your students’ comprehension, but what if you want to empower your students with the choice of how to demonstrate their learning? You could say “Use this or this or this,” but what if you want them all to use the same tool, yet have some choice in what kind of representation to make?

This infographic showcases 7 tools that do just that: multiple options for creation within 1 tool. Allow me to introduce: the Swiss Army Knife Multi-Tools!

Check out the infographic to see which one is the best fit for you!
