Teaching Assistant

There are several online teaching assistants to help you manage both your teaching career and students.


Schoology
Students must study at home due to coronavirus outbreaks and teachers should change their teaching method as demanded by the condition. But they don't have to worry too much, because Schoology is one of the best online applications I've ever tried. Quite plain, good-looking appearance, and in my opinion, Schoology is not too big in size making it the most recommended nowadays.

Google Classroom
It's the same thing as Schoology. But, this application is suited for simplicity and practicality thanks to its database connected to Google. in short if you have a google account you can access Google Classroom.


Kahoot
Teaching to students by making them learning and playing games at the same time? It’s not impossible anymore, there is an online website that facilitates anyone especially the teachers to create their own questions. It works by connecting the material that’s projected in the classroom and students are asked to answer them meaning they are learning and playing game simultaneously.


Cisco Webex
Do you need to have a far distance meeting without directly gather in one place? It’s an era where we don’t need to move our physical bodies to get to business. Webex is one of the applications that make those thoughts to reality. You only need a device and a stable internet connection to can do to be considered impossible in the past.


WhatsApp
Well it’s not surprising that WhatsApp is more known for communication application/ social media rather than for teaching-learning and I agree with that, so why would be it in here? The reason is privately from my own point of view, I experienced myself. Based on communication application is used to teaching and learning. By creating a group, teachers can teach what the materials are by sending the files, video, image, or even music via WhatsApp and the receivers are the students, added that by having communication with each other and you’ll have an online class there.

Google Docs is a free online software to write a document. What differentiates Docs with other writing software such as MSWord, WPS, WordPad, and others is that your document is saved on the cloud. It means that you can write on any device that can access google and you can add your friend/colleague to do collaborative writing. IMHO a cross-platform writing software is a pretty convenient little thing that we take for granted these days. Imagine the old days on Windows XP if we want to connect to the internet we need to do complicated and mentally painful Dial-up procedures.
