Recommended Web Apps for Content Creation

We are often involved in conversations in which people say. “I wish I could do X, but we don’t have INSERT NAME OF SOFTWARE here.” This pains us because there are SO many great and universally available sites and web apps out there that, since they are on the web, work on Chromebooks, Macs, and Windows computers.

Listed (and linked) below are TESTED tools for creation of content, graphics, audio, video, and more. Most of these tools are free (or have free levels of use) and most have the ability for you and your students to create an account and log in with MVS Google Accounts. (Please do so when given the option to make your life easier. :)
