What are the best virtual classroom platforms?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for recommendations on virtual classroom platforms. With everything going online, I need something that’s user-friendly and can handle different class sizes. Any suggestions? I’d love to hear what you all are using!

Zoom is super popular for virtual classrooms. It’s easy to use and has lots of features like breakout rooms.

I’ve had great experiences with Google Meet. It integrates well with other Google apps, which is handy!

Microsoft Teams is awesome for collaboration. If you’re already using Office 365, it’s a no-brainer.

I’ve heard about Teams but haven’t used it much. How does it compare to Zoom?

@Mason
Teams has more built-in collaboration tools, but Zoom is often more stable for larger classes.

Don’t sleep on Webex! It’s been around for a while and has solid features for education.

If you’re looking for something more interactive, consider platforms like Kahoot! or Nearpod. They make learning engaging.

Kahoot! is fun for quizzes, but can you use it for full classes?

@VeridianQuill1
Not for full classes, but it’s great to use alongside other platforms for engagement.

I really like BigBlueButton for educational purposes. It’s open-source and has features tailored for teaching.
