Along with the Microsoft Teams application, Microsoft has introduced many other platforms used by millions of students around the world. These additional platforms include OneNote, Excel, and Powerpoint.

Microsoft Excel is an advanced spreadsheets app with numerous different functions including data analysis and organization, graphing abilities, financial models, programming, and time management. Students and professionals in various fields alike have benefitted greatly due to the many functions of Excel. Due to its easy-to-use nature and unlimited design elements, Microsoft Powerpoint is very commonly used by students to create slideshows for school projects and other important presentations.

Another popular channel teachers use on YouTube is TED. This channel posts TED Talks, which are videos of presentations and discussions used to share research and knowledge on certain topics to viewers all over the world. Educated professionals including scientists, researchers, doctors, and others of varying professions stand in front of audiences to share their knowledge in their respective fields of research, as well as educating and informing the population of their findings. Furthermore, a study done by Dr. Trishu Sharma found that YouTube accommodates to different styles of learning, as a typical classroom setting may not be the most effective form of education for many individuals. In addition, specialized videos on YouTube can go more in depth on a certain topic a student is struggling to grasp, as well as introduce new topics that may not have been taught in a classroom setting
