Have you ever imagined a life without digital tools? A life without facebook, messenger, or any other social media platforms? I know life will be hard. Like how you going to inform the other person about the current situation of your place in emergencies? Use the postman? He will probably take more than one to two days to reach the information to the other place. Forget about those, if there's a war or a pandemic in a place, how would have the students learn? Or take classes in that kind of situation? Like currently, the covid pandemic has broke out and every educational institutions are closed. During the pandemic, unlike in the olden days, we are able to continue our studies despite the situation using ICT tools such as zoom. Zoom is an app where many participants can take part in the video conference. Through zoom, we can interact with teachers and students despite the distance and the situation. We are able to learn effectively as if we are in normal classroom. At first, I didn't know zoom had such features. I thought it would be just like video call. It allows us to share screen as well. We are able to share our screen and present what we have to. Moreover, we can even play videos or pictures and let all the participant watch it. It is said that students learn best through visual and zoom provides us such a platform making teaching and learning environment effective.
We can even break out in different room and set up for discussions. We are fortunate to continue our studies despite the distance and the pandemic. We would have faced some challenges in the future.
Furthermore, we can not only use the zoom meeting for educational purposes but also for some official gatherings and so on.
