Due to widespread distance education in the Czech Republic, teachers must look for ways to meet educational goals, within the available material teaching resources. Teachers thus learned to effectively use a wide range of educational software or cloud services, enabling not only communication with students and their parents, but also various forms of teaching methods. Schools often use the Microsoft 365 cloud service. However, for...
