Mentimeter

Mentimeter looks fun - basically a combination of Kahoot!, PowerPoint, and Padlet. The free version is very limited, but should be enough for a class when combined with a 'real' presentation software, especially when teaching online. The paid versions are too expensive for an educator.

LandsatLook 2.0

LandsatLook 2.0 is a nice way to explore the USGS Landsat archive. You can even do on-the-fly analysis and dispplay differents band combinations and band ratios. One issue I noticed: you cannot switch the basemap - the dark one looks cool, but swapping it for something like OSM would make it much easier to find your area of interest.
