What is Kahoot?

kahoot is said to be a “ game - based learning”.  It helps to keep your students interested on a topic. it is used as an educational technology in schools.

It is a useful app as teachers can assess their students quickly. It is easy to use and what makes it interesting is that it is free. Teachers are free to create their games.

Using technology to make education easier

Hello,

like i have told you from my last post even if hot potatoes is an interesting app, still we can face some drawbacks

1.  Poor internet connection

As you know here in Rodrigues, there is most of the time poor internet connection. students might have difficulties to get access to these resources

2. Difficulty to access

some students who don’t really know about how to make use of online tools will get difficulty to get access. it will be difficult for them to do the exercises.

Using technology to make education easier

1. Hot potatoes

since things are evolutiong nowadays, there are more and more programs that can be use for teaching. Today i have learn about a new program call hot potatoes. This program is an interactive web based on teaching exercises and it can be delivered to students from any appliances.

This program has interesting as it has different functions that we can use to create teaching exercises. It consists of Jcloze, Jquiz, Jmatch, Jmix, and mashe. i have tried it to create exercises and i can say that it is very useful and easy.  you can create multiple choice,crossword, matching, gap fill exercises, jumbled sentence and short answer.

How is it useful for teachers?

As mentioned, it is an interesting app for teachers as you can create many activities and assessment as well. Then you  can send it to your students. they can use it to do their exercised and also they can  check for their answers before they submit and sometime they can check their marks as well. But unfortunately not all students can have access to it and of course it takes a lot of time to create these activities. on my next post , i will tell you more about it.
