Macs and PCs, Zoom is free
for professors and students
to use. It also functions well
on desktop and laptop
computers, as well as
smartphones and tablets.
Some of the early problems
with Zoombombing and the
inability for hosts to remove
unwanted users have been
resolved by recently
enhanced security
standards, which include
making passwords
necessary for new meetings.
Blackboard As a traditional teaching
tool, the blackboard has
benefits such as being
affordable and reusable,
enabling students to follow
along with the teacher, and
not requiring energy. The
chalk that is used for writing
needs no particular
maintenance, is less
expensive, has no scent,
and works well for
expressing written and
visual concepts.
Edmodo The three beneficial criteria
offered by Edmodo—
usability, accessibility, and
compatibility—promote
teachers to cater to the
needs of various students,
DISADVANTAGE
Software faults can cause
your web browser to crash
or an app to not run. Your
webcam and/or microphone
may be malfunctioning if you
experience hardware
problems, which are most
frequently experienced on
PC and Mac.
Lack of personal
connections that students
may have with the
instructors, restrictions on
some course activities,
participation in and
attendance at class, and
easy access to an internet
connection are all factors.
Due to its inability to
manage big file sizes,
Blackboard has restrictions
when it comes to the
delivery of content and the
evaluation of student work.
Its capacity to monitor
student activity is likewise
constrained. The student's
most recent login is visible
to instructors, but they are
unable to monitor behavior.
The findings point to
potential Edmodo
drawbacks, including a lack
of face-to-face connection,
amenities that might not be
accessible to all students,
 foster a feeling of
community among students,
make them feel appreciated
and significant, and provide
three such standards.
Canva Anyone may create stunning
photos and infographics with
the help of a ton of free
templates and excellent
instructions.

excellent, and educational
movies online on sites like
YouTube is a natural
addition to contemporary
learning environments.
Parents, children, and
educators all concur that
web videos are a valuable
teaching and learning tool.

YouTube videos is how
effortlessly they can be
incorporated into a number
of learning environments,
especially online learning.

Canva for Education is ideal
for teachers and educators
who want to boost
classroom creativity as well
as those who are converting
to remote working or online
programs. The key
advantage is that educators
and all of their students can
use this platform without any
time or offering restrictions
for free.
To obtain quality instructive
content, it could be essential
to go through several
videos. Comments and
other ancillary content may
not be acceptable. In certain
cases, the entire website is
restricted in libraries and
schools.
Conflict may be a source of
exploitation and
pornography.
Discord has a sordid
underbelly because it is
based on private groups,
and there are groups
promoting child
pornography, white
nationalism, and criminal
behaviour on the network.
By creating restricted groups
to exclude certain kids and
sharing unpleasant jokes
and images, students can
use Discord to bully others.
