When educators (and students) take advantage of the power of video annotations and hypervideo linking, they make it possible to create a more engaged learning experience for the viewer. That’s important because:
Thus while video documents are now more and more openly accessible and available, and constitute a learning material of great pedagogical value, their potential is not always fully exploited (Hobbs, 2006). Bringing the learners to a more active attitude while watching video documents can be achieved through various pedagogical practices and tools (Bossewitch, 2011; Zahn, 2010; Schwan and Riempp, 2004).

As you might imagine, the more active video learners are while watching, the more they are likely to retain for application (Source).
- Flipgrid.com - Flipgrid is a free, fun, and easy way to have a video chat. It is a great way to get student feedback while incorporating student voice. There is an iOS and Android app.
- VideoNot.es - Have students use this Google Drive App in conjunction with their Google account in order to take notes while they watch a video that you assign. Their notes are synced with the video - click on a line in the notes and have it jump to that portion of the video.
- Vialogues - Vialogues allows you to create conversations that revolve around a video.
- EdPuzzle - EdPuzzle allows you to use only what you need from any video, insert audio notes or record over a video with your voice, and add questions at any point in the video and track your students' understanding.
- Educannon (Playposit) - A great way to annotate already existing Youtube videos for students to watch at home.
