Flipgrid has become my most favorite web tool for ALL grade levels! Students can respond to a question or prompt by using a webcam. It is great for younger students because they can share by recording themselves, instead of typing. Only the teacher is required to have an account (no student accounts), so it is easy to manage. Students find it really easy to use as well. Even my first graders were able to independently use it after a mini-lesson, and they were highly motivated to share what they know. There is a yearly subscription of $65, but you can try it out free for a few weeks. You can use it with as many students as you want and can use it with any grade level, so it is well worth the money!
