Zoom & Ethics

During this Easter vacation, each member of the group has been assigned to evaluate different learning tools necessary for the academic environment. My name is Santi and today I am here to evaluate the Zoom tool.


In January 2020 practically nobody knew about this tool founded in 2011, but everything changed during the lockdown, schools, colleges and universities needed to find a way to teach from home in the most comfortable and efficient possible way and that's where Zoom comes in. Zoom's functionality is very simple, a software that creates online calls by activating the video and even screen sharing functions.

Unlike many other programs of this style, Zoom does not put your personal data at risk and it is also very easy to access this program, just Google it and you have the official page with a download link. It also has a mobile version that is just as good but even more practical since it allows you to access the class wherever you are.

Facilitating the week

Every member of the group was assigned with a role; however, there is an exception in our group, because we are 7 people, meaning that 1 role must be repeated, the role that is distributed twice is the role of Star, we select that specific role because taking into account the exception, this role is perfect because it can be shared and even more detailed if we have two speakers instead of only one. Secondly, talking about our online spaces, you can find information about our projects on this blog, furthermore, we also have created an Instagram account, where you can find picture about us and more information about the tasks, here is the user: @gogetters21. To conclude I must say that this week everyone has worked on the project, meaning that there were barely any ...
