This application is a solid choice. It is a little harder to use than zoom but that is because you can do more with it such has changing the volume of individual users. The best way to describe discord is to view it as a more casual version of Slack

Overall, I think that Discord is a great tool to use. Although, at first discord can be hard to use but it in the end it is great for communication and collaboration. Teachers are able to create servers and within the servers there will be different channels that both the student and teacher can access. There are also voice channels that can be helpful if students need to talk directly to a teacher.

Discord's user interface is relatively easy to use. For each teacher's need, they would need to learn how to set up a discord server and take the time to set up the server itself. When setting up a server you need to create different voice and text channels. Once set up, it's very easy for students to know where a resource is and if not, they effortlessly browse through different channels. I found it useful to have an "Important announcements" channel where students can quickly see upcoming due dates and information. Teachers also have conventional tools found in zoom, such as screen sharing, video calling, muting students, and breakout rooms.

Definitely a great app for communication! I use Discord every day to talk to friends, communities, and the like in order to easily connect with people while at home or while I am out and about. 5/5 would definitely suggest trying this application out. The best feature I like is ability to add <a href="https://wikiwalls.com/add-bots-to-discord-server/">bots to discord</a>. Those bots do all the pesky jobs. Would recommend using it.
