When I decided to take IT as my minor, I always looking forward to what kind of learning I will learn. So, when I take this course, the first thing I was informed is that we are going to learn various kind of apps that we can use to teach students in the future. The motions really intrigued me back then because I've got a chance to learn on how to use the apps because I know well that me, myself would not learn this outside of the class. So, let's recap all the apps I've learnt to use in this course for this semester.

Padlet is a digital canvas to create beautiful projects that are easy to share and collaborate on. With padlet you can create an online post-it board that you can share with any student or teacher you want.
This padlet app, we can use it in teaching and learning because it have so many features such as posting a replies, uploading files, record your own video and even recording your own audio. Teacher can assess the student creativity as well when they use Padlet because Padlet allows us to modify the page by ourselves.
The great advantage of this app is that, it allow both of the teacher and the student to be creative in posting contents in this platform. However, one thing  that might help this apps to be a great apps for teaching and learning is by adding a synchronous features so that a class can be conduct here.
In term of ease of use, I will give Padlet 5 out of 5, because it was super easy for me to use even when it was the first time I use this app. In term of usefulness, I'll be giving 4. Overall, I really like Padlet and I think I'll be using it in my teaching in the future.

MindMaster is a free and multi-platform mind mapping tool, which gives you comprehensive solutions for brainstorming and knowledge management.
This app is great in creating a mind map for students. The advantage is that the features to create the mind map is really cool, but the disadvantage is, it is not available for a free convert. The price is quite pricey for a student to pay. In term of ease of use, I'll give 3 because some part to custom the shape is not available according to our liking. Usefulness, 4/5 . It is very useful for someone who like creating mind map in their learning. Generally, I don't think I'll be using it in my classroom.

Word is word processing application that is used to write documents like letters or essays where text formatting is very essential to provide a printable document that can be read very easily. Excel, on the other hand, is a spreadsheet application where you can input data in tables in the pattern you choose.
These two Microsoft applications without no doubt is very useful and easy to use. There are unlimited features that we can use using these two application. Word and Excel often being used by the students starting from high school. I definitely will use Word and Excel in classroom especially if it regarding the writing.

Nearpod is an instructional software that engages students with interactive learning experiences. Nearpod can be use in  teaching and learning because it prepares a quite number of features for the user. We can create slides, exercises and collaborative feature. The advantages of Nearpod is that we can create a various activities in one lesson. The disadvantage for me is that the student can skip answering some question. It will be great if there's no skipping question option. It was very easy to use and very useful for me so I think it passed to get full point. I really like Nearpod.

ThingLink is a Finnish-American developer and pioneer of interactive image and video technology. Thinglink can be use in teaching and learning when the teacher want to teach vocab or listening or reading. It can be all. Personally, I really love Thinglink because i had so much fun when i create a lesson using Thinglink! I can add video to a still image so it is not a boring lesson at all. However, the minus point is, the students cannot give comments on the lesson. It was uncomplicated to use. for usefulness, it score is 3 because it is only teacher centered learning. Overall, i will use in my class but no often.

Wizer.me is a platform where teachers build beautiful, engaging online worksheets. Wizer is awe-inspiring application for a teacher to use in teaching. Teacher can add voice, add pictures, customize the template and many more. The advantage of wizer.me is that the exercise features is abundant. Teacher can apply different exercise every time. Even so, the disadvantage for me is wizer.me layout is quite long. The exercises keep being added below so the layout seems like endless. It will be good if it can be directed to a new page. It was indeed easy to use but the usefulness might be only 4 for me. In general, i still like it and will be using this in my classroom.

EdPuzzle is a free assessment-centered tool that allows teachers and students to create interactive online videos by embedding either open-ended or multiple-choice questions, audio notes, audio tracks, or comments on a video.
By using Edpuzzle, teacher can teach listening skills to the students. One of the advantage of Edpuzzle that I really want to highlight is that it has the features when we can get a certificate if we can complete the lesson from Edpuzzle. It is so cool because we can get certificated plus free lesson that we will joined.  One weakness is Edpuzzle doesn't have the features to upload your own file in voice-over function. It can be a disadvantage if the user doesn't have a proper sound system.
It is very easy to use and very useful for me so I'll give full point! I'll definitely use Edpuzzle in my teaching in the future because I already grow fond with this app. I can explain non-stop why I like this apps if given a chance to  XD

Free gamified quizzes for every subject to play in class and at home. Teacher can use this quiz application to assess the students understanding after a lesson. One advantage from Quizizz is that they prepared a feature for teacher to create their own feedback memes. It was so fun when create one back then because I can find my own funny picture to use. The disadvantages for me is that there is a redemption thing. It's quite a 'meh' features because the students already knew the correct answer. It was very easy to use and we can choose existing quiz too. On term of usefulness, it will only 3/5 because to assess the student understanding is not quite suitable with some of the features. Overall i can use this application for fun quizzes with my students but not for a serious assessment.

Quizlet is an online study application that allows students to study information via learning tools and games. Teacher can use this application for drilling. There are five study features and two play modes. It is a great advantage with features as it helps a lot in drilling the information. A disadvantage for me is that, I cannot use the diagram based because we need to upgrade the account for a year first. This application is very easy to use and very useful if we can access all the features. I will definitely use in my classroom later on.

To be very very honest, I definitely think that an educator must mastered apps online. If not all, maybe part of it. This is because we do not know when we need to use that for a full time. For example, given the situation of Covid-19 these days, we suddenly need to have class online. Imagine if an educator does not know how to use apps online, it will be such a wasteful. So that's why i think that all educator must know how to work with technology online.
Last but not least, all  the learning for this semester really benefit us a lot. We definitely can use all these applications in our teaching later on  :)))
PS; the one in orange colour is my fav hehe xx
