I chose the H5P Studio, Socrative and both Zoom and Microsoft Stream to make a course introduction video.  I chose these activities because I think that I am most likely to use them going forward and there are no licensing issues.

H5P is great for producing visualizations with hotspots.  I used it to create a Visual Learning Plan for one of my courses and could see myself doing this for other courses.  Socrative is an excellent tool for formative quizzes so I used it to build a quiz to prepare my students for an upcoming test.  I will be doing more of this going forward.  I used Zoom and Microsoft Stream to produce a course trailer video which is something that I have been wanting to do.  I think it will help get students excited about the course and I will do this for other courses going forward.

I completed my Socrative quiz using a browser on both my Android smartphone and Windows PC and found that it worked very well in both cases.  I believe that students should have access to at least one of these devices so it should be available to all.
