Sutori is another interactive teaching tool that lets users create story timelines that can include photos and documents. If you are using many presentations in your class, Sutori is just for you! Or you can make your students prepare presentations or story timelines about a particular topic. This will help them work collaboratively and provide an entertaining atmosphere in which they can both learn & enjoy! Students can add a range of media and the simple visual design helps make complex ideas more approachable. 




With a super-simple design and tons of flexible features, this is an appealing and intuitive way for teachers and students to organize and share class content. There are premade stories and templates which include some excellent details and embedded resources, and it's worth spending the time to dig in and find content that might be relevant to your classroom.
