The digital age is characterized by the ability of the vast majority of people to access the internet. The internet, and the apps that enable us to do a wide variety of things online have proven useful during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the education sector has mostly retained its traditional approach toward educating its students. The pandemic has undoubtedly forced it to integrate modern technologies into its infrastructure. A prime example of this is with social media. While social media was initially thought to be a mere distraction from education, it was found to be an integral tool for communicating with students during the pandemic.
There are many other tools that have had a significant impact on the education sector. Here are a few examples of tools that can have a big impact on student and teacher productivity.

For teachers, online grading systems make it easier to manage transcript data and it can also help teachers minimize the number of class flunkees.
Project Management Software

This is especially useful for collaborative projects. In addition to that, you can also use school management software such as Teach ‘n Go which helps you track attendance as well as expenses that can help ease your workload.
Google Suite
Google Suite is a collection of Google productivity apps such as Google Docs, Sheets, Calendar, Drive, Meet, Forms, Slides, and Gmail. These tools are portable, collaborative, and they are incredibly handy as long as you still have space in your Google Drive.
