Ah interesting thank you, I'm on a macbook so will investigate those other options too! Let's keep in touch on here as well, it's great to share resources and knowledge.

Hi Liz, Thank you for your quick and honest reply. I have been doing some research into screen sharing and annotation options for Google Meet, etc. I use an Apple Mac and intend to get Presentify (Mac-only App)to use with all the platforms I work on. Maybe Presentify could work for you and your students. I love using off2class.com, but sometimes I need to use other materials which aren't as interactive. I'll get back to you in 6 months for an update. Thanks again, Thirzah.

Hi Thirzah. To be honest I haven't used all the functionality of Zoom in terms of annotation or other tools etc because I need my lessons to be equally functional even if a student chooses Lattep or Google Meet. I think what has impressed me most is the stability of Zoom, primarily because it's not browser based. In terms of cost, so far I would say it hasn't been worthwhile, but it's very early days and hopefully there will be more uptake of longer lessons in the future. Check back with me in 6 months and I'll let you know how it's gone!

Hi Liz, I'm an online English teacher like you. Can I ask if you find the benefits of paying for Zoom outweigh the cost? I work with a few different platforms and their classrooms, but I find they lack some important features like annotation tools, etc Has Zoom impressed you?
