Looking at the Top 300 tools for Learning, I can confidently say i’m familiar with the majority of the tools listed. As the world evolves, there are constantly new methods of learning arising. Gone are the days when people learn by only reading books, magazines, or any paper-based resource.

While tools such as Microsoft Teams, Google search, Word, Slack, etc, have become very popular for workplace learning.

Hello Grace,
Great blog post! It was straightforward and very easy to read. As you mentioned, many tools such as Zoom, YouTube, and Google Drive/Documents have become popular especially due to COVID-19. During the pandemic, many students began learning from home, meaning they were away from their classmates and the physical classroom setting. This can make it challenging for many students to learn new material which can also negatively impact their learning process. However, the use of interactive multimedia can significantly help. According to Mayer’s observation, people learn better when interactive multimedia is used, both in their education or workplace. As a result, the use of the tools mentioned above have significantly increased due to COVID-19, and I therefore I agree with your point.
I also like how you incorporated a form of multimedia, such as the image, into your blog post. This image relates to your topic very well.
Thank you for sharing!
