I would use this tool in my class to create crosswords for vocabulary study guides in English, Interactive Map activties in Social Studies, I would use the Dialouges activity for either teaching Shakespeare in English or in Drama, and Video quizzes for students so that those who had trouble reading could still do a quiz in the same timeframe that other students do.

 

This tool would reduce barriers for kids who are visual or auditory learners, would add a feeling a “gamification” for students who need to be more entertained to be engaged, and the dictation option offers an option for talk to text.
