A chat box that allows you to send messages to the entire class or individual learners

Screen share function that allows you and your students to share not only your materials or documents but also audio from your computer

Cute emoji buttons that let participants raise their hands, send virtual applause, and react to others

Zoom comes in a free version, which you can use for one-on-one lessons without a time limit or for group classes for a maximum of 40 minutes.

Another communication platform is Microsoft Teams, which is commonly used by professionals. So, if you have Business English students, chances are they have this software already installed on their computers!

Niels, an online Business English tutor from Peru, delivers his classes through Microsoft Teams. "I use this program because it is connected with a variety of other apps, and I can use my digital pen and avoid typing so much," he said.

Online teachers can benefit from using Microsoft Teams through the following features:

Screen and audio sharing

Chat function that lets you communicate and share documents with everyone in the virtual room

A variety of fun and professional-looking backgrounds

Easy-to-use scheduler

You can make use of all of Microsoft Teams' features and have online meetings with an unlimited number of participants using its free version. Meanwhile, you can also upgrade to the premium version to get cloud storage and Microsoft Office apps.

A Google Classroom workspace

Organization apps

Especially since remote learning became the trend during the pandemic, online ESL teachers have turned to class organization platforms to manage their students better. Imagine these apps as a one-stop-shop where you can assign homework, post class announcements, and give feedback to individual learners.

When choosing the best organization platform, make sure that both you and your students can access or navigate it easily. It should also let you share materials or documents with ease, either through email or via a link.

One of the top blended learning platforms these days, Google Classroom helps make managing classwork easier by letting you:

Create, distribute, and grade homework

Organize your lessons into modules or units

Upload materials and store them on Google Drive

Track students' progress

Post comments and class announcements

While Google Classroom does have a free version, you can opt to upgrade to obtain more space - which could be useful if you have lots of files!

Another free online teaching tool for class management and collaboration is Edmodo, which can be used not only by teachers and students but also parents and school administrators. The program runs on any browser, so you don't need to download and install it separately.

Edmodo users can take advantage of the following key features:

Tools for creating lessons and content

Make your presentations, infographics, and other class materials more engaging by customizing them with collaborative design apps and workspaces. In addition, you can use these tools for brainstorming ideas with students or assigning group tasks, such as creating a presentation.

A good design tool should be user-friendly and provide a variety of options for building and styling content. Collaborators should also be able to share and access the workspace.

From posters to Zoom backgrounds to slides, Canva lets you design many different types of graphic materials. Among its many fun and useful options, it allows you to:

Webcam software for creating special effects

Spicing up a virtual classroom may be challenging for teachers, especially if you need to be creative in setting up your teaching background and capturing youngsters' attention in class. If you're looking for a digital tool that does all these tricks and more, you can rely on webcam and streaming apps that can add filters and effects to your videos.

Make sure that your webcam software is compatible with the video conference platform you're using for classes. Additionally, webcam apps can usually slow down your computer because of high CPU usage, so check that your desktop computer or laptop meets the platform's system requirements.

ManyCam is the go-to webcam app for most online English teachers nowadays. You can use it to add elements to your teaching backdrop, play games, show virtual objects onscreen, give rewards to your students, and more!

Through this user-friendly program, you can:

Replace your background with an image or a video

Add fun borders, banners, text, and stickers to your video frame

Use face masks to appear as a different character or animal onscreen

Choose multiple video sources

Display time tools, such as a digital clock, stopwatch, and timer, onscreen

Zoom your camera straight from the app

ManyCam offers free, standard, studio, and enterprise versions. While you can use the app's basic functions with its free version, you can enjoy more features and add more video sources when you upgrade to a premium version.
Check out this guide to using ManyCam when teaching English online.
Platforms for playing games in class

Hoping to make learning more engaging for your students? Why not turn tests into games? For this, you can take advantage of interactive apps that make it easy for you to generate your own quizzes and convert them into fun challenges for your students.

Teacher Shella, an English teacher in Taiwan, began using Kahoot! when her school shifted to remote learning.

An online, game-based learning platform, Kahoot! lets you create and share your own educational games quickly and easily. Teachers can use it as a warm-up activity, to review concepts they've taught, or as a form of assessment. What's more, it's totally free to use!

Shella, from the Philippines, is an English teacher to primary students in Taiwan. When they shifted to online classes this year, Kahoot! became her favorite digital tool, not only for motivating her students but also for checking their understanding of the lesson. "I would tell them that I'd know if they were listening in class because their Kahoot! scores would show me!" she shared.

Making your own learning game on Kahoot! is pretty straightforward:

You can choose to add text, images, and diagrams to your quizzes

Once your game is ready, you'll get a unique PIN to share with your students

Any student who has the PIN can play the game on their computer or mobile device
