6. AR Filters – Further to make learning entertaining and educational, teachers can use filters while teaching the younger grade students for undivided attention.
7. On Stage Appreciation – With motivation and appreciation at the center, ‘On stage’ allows teachers to do what they would ideally do in a physical classroom when they bring students in front of the blackboard to acknowledge and reward them.
8. Tag, Drag, Drop – Touch-based interactions between a teacher and student are made simpler with Tag & Drag/Drop feature. Objects can be moved and matched around on the whiteboard matched and actual images can be clicked on to select answers.
