The Use Of Zoom Application As A Learning Medium During Covid 19

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching and learning activities must use a different learning method. For example, a teacher can use online-based learning platforms and various types of online applications. In this best practice, I used the Zoom application as the learning platform as well as the learning media. This best practice described the teacher’s efforts to engage with the students during an online class. Zoom application itself is a platform that can provide a chat box with hyperlinked sources that can be accessed directly by the students. The teachers’ efforts include 1) greeting the students, 2) giving a little warm-up, 3) explaining the material, 4) asking questions to engage the students, 5) reviewing the material before closing the meeting, and 6) closing the meeting. By using the Zoom application as a learning platform, it was easier for the students to get material although they did not directly meet the teacher.
