My Take
Overall, Figma is a really good teaching tool, and should be used by teachers. It is a good way to introduce app design and user interface to people that do not know much about it. My one critique is that there is a premium version, but it is good because it is free with most institutions.
How I Use It
I have used Figma in the past, and I know that it is really helpful and easy to use. As someone who does not know anything about userinterface or coding, it was a good way to start learning. It helped me make an app design that can be used to create a real app.
