When considering tools for engagement, teachers are looking for tools that have built in "real time" collaboration. This collaboration allows for co-engagment around the content that the tool is sharing. Therefore, by jointly engaging through the tool, students are able to use reflective thinking practices such as probing, predicting, analysizing, synthesizing, and building knowledge together. A few tools that have some built in collaboration include;
- Collabrify: Collaborate on synchornously generating ideas, mindmaps, spreadsheets and other forms of data collection.
- Coggle.it: Collaborate with others on building mindmaps and brainstorming maps
- Hypothesis: Co-engage synchronously on annotating text (and multimedia)
- Video Ant: Collaborate on annotating videos
- Google Docs: Collaborative and real time editing
- ActivelyLearn: Collaborate on reading comprehension
