MIRO
Miro is at its simplest, a virtual whiteboard that will allow all your students to join in real time and collaborated--whether in person or remote. The tool is designed for you to also link in websites, Google Slides and Docs, and even use some of their interactive features like screen sharing and a built in timer. Start with the virtual whiteboard and play around with new features as you get more comfortable.
