In this discussion, students need to talk about a new educational tech tool they’ve heard about, like software or an app. They should say what’s good about it and what might be bad if it’s used in a classroom. They also have to think about if they would use it themselves when teaching.

When it comes to educational tech, we’ve got two major players – “Zoom One for Education” and “Prompt engineering for educators.” Here’s the lowdown:

Zoom One for Education:
Zoom One for Education is like a powerhouse for schools and colleges. It covers messaging, video calls, webinars, and more, making school tasks a breeze. It offers user-friendly communication tools, integrates well with other apps, handles users and systems efficiently, comes in different plans, includes Zoom Phone, and works on any device. Essentially, it’s designed to simplify teaching and learning, whether in-person or online.

Prompt Engineering for Zoom:
To elevate the Zoom class experience, teachers can employ a nifty technique called prompt engineering. This involves giving clear and engaging instructions to make class engaging and achieve specific learning goals. Some tactics include guiding students on participation, using structured chat prompts, assigning roles for collaborative work, fostering critical thinking, ensuring self-consistency during reviews, aiding demonstrations through prompts, and maintaining clarity in discussions. By tailoring prompts to educational objectives and leveraging Zoom’s features, educators can fashion a more interactive, organized, and effective virtual learning space.

With the integration of Zoom as a whole, it really shows how much our society has not only just improved, but also enhanced the current state of technology software. It is very intriguing that how you mentioned that Zoom integrates with other apps too, is significant. You would think that Zoom would have limits and certain features, yet over the years, it has dramatically improved from when we first started to use such a tool during qurantine.
