Use telecommunications and on-line resources (e.g., email, online discussions, web environments) to participate in collaborative problem-solving activities to develop solutions or products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.

I used this tool because it allows you to present information in slides and then insert a quiz! Also, I discovered it also gives you the option to let your students draw. That was helpful in teaching them to draw the lines, line segments, rays, angles, perpendicular and parallel lines.
