Online classes are a big challenge for both teacher and student, it is difficult to concentrate on the screen without getting bored or distracted, especially if you are at home. However, we have a variety of tools that we can use to motivate students and make our classes more fun, for example, online games.
Whatever the topic we are going to teach, there are many games we can use, memory, grammar, listening, matching, you just have to choose the one that best suits the topic and objectives of your class.
Among the most recommended is Kahoot, since it is very personalized, in which besides the learning aspect, you can also develop as an evaluation, among many other options, puzzles, challenges, among others. The other highly recommended app is Classcraft, it has an RPG format and in it, students can create their own character, and every time they answer a question they earn points that are used to customize their avatar.
Although games are not the only strategy, they help us a lot if we encourage students to connect and participate!
Personally, I have been implementing it for a few weeks now and the kids are really excited! You should give it a try!
The online classes are the present educational system, so, the educators have new challenges. One of these demands the relation between their students and them. Online games could be a solution to it. No matter what the subject that they teach is, they could find an online game to use in their classes as a way to build connections among them, and also to learn new things while learning. They could engage learners with platforms such as Kahoot, Class craft, or any other to do activities, quizzes, and so on. It allows them to connect with their students and interacts with them. These relationships can be also influential for the succeed of the class, since building confidence and providing them with a safe environment could decrease considerably their fears, stress and anxiety caused by the new way of learning.
Online learning has been the new norm for some time now. Using games to connect with students is an excellent way to keep them engaged. Using Kahoot has been a great tool to keep learners engaged. Although you can’t physically be there to inspire the learners, using network tools is proven to help. During sessions, I have also used Menti. It has been useful in conducting interactive sessions with adults as well.
