Analysis of a visual information tool


Positive points:

Netboard is a technological tool that enables teachers to display a wide variety of documents for their pupils. This tool has lots of advantages.
First, its free to use version allows the owner of the account to create unlimited netboards and to post unlimited content on them.
The owner of the netboard page can freely choose from a wide variety of themes, fonts, and aesthetics to customize the page.
You can also choose to keep your netboard private or accessible on the internet. However, if you choose to keep it private, you will not be able to share it with anyone else.
This site allows its users to add a wide variety of files: from PDFs and images to links, BUT you will need the premium plan to add videos.
Thanks to Netboard, a teacher will be able to create interactive games for the students.
There is even a video tutorial to guide people if they are new to the platform and do not know how to manage it.
Another great thing to know about this platform is that users can follow other Netboard users, and by doing so, teachers can always access the works of their colleagues who also use Netboard.
For the people interred in AI, with the premium plan, Netboard users can get help from AI directly from the platform. Neetboard users can comment on the documents that are posted, and like your posts.
And lastly, the owner of the
Netboard page can use a self-generated QR code or a traditional sharing link to share their Netboard.

Negative points:

Sadly, some negative thing scan be found regarding the platform.

It is first of all mandatory to create an account to create and interact with Netboards.

Then, you always have to click the button “sauvegarder” to keep what you have added; otherwise, the changes will not be saved, and you will lose the documents you have added.

Another inconvenience is that you can not use the platform offline. You must always have an internet connection to access the files.

It is hard to know about the environmental impact of this platform, as well as finding out how the users’ data is used.

Lastly, teachers must know that they can create classrooms for students to participate in the sharing of files only if they have a premium account.
Conclusion:

It is quite a useful platform, and I would use it as a teacher to store my "séquences" to have everything organised.

The pros being greater in number than the cons, I would recommend this platform.
