Bianca De la O's curator insight, June 4, 2021 2:27 PM

I'm an English teacher and one of the biggest struggles I faced at the beginning of this school year was how to get my students to interact and engage with the literature-- here is where Kami App comes into play. I've used this application throughout the entire year and it was a complete game changer. I would 100% recommend this application to any educator of any subject. It can help you turn basic PDFs into interactive worksheets and creates note-taking more engaging for students. One of the biggest perks I see as a teacher is that Kami automatically creates a Google Folder for my students in their Drive and autosaves everything there-- no more "lost work" excuses!

This is a very simple tool but at the same time it can bring a lot of fun to children. It can perhaps be integrated into a listening and vocabulary activity or it can simply be used to get children's attention. Use your imagination! Here is the link:

This option to make a copy of created games from google slides is downloaded to your Google drive. This can be used as supplemental aids with your students or incentives for completion or accomplishments in the classroom. Many of these games also teach analyzing and math skills.

Loveneet Kaur's curator insight, October 6, 2020 5:06 PM
This article is so informational about how online learning can still be fun and that can happen by online clubs in which students can participate and represent themselves and their communities. I also have my own experience of how online clubs can be fun. But I am a college student and clubs for our college are also online and we are still able to do some pretty fun activities. Schools should also allow students to expand their experience through online clubs and as the article says coding club can be one.

Laura Mejía Fernández's curator insight, September 25, 2020 10:56 AM
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!

Erika Geraldyne Cardenas Urrego's curator insight, September 26, 2020 1:14 AM
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.
Patricia Cruz's curator insight, September 16, 2023 7:09 PM
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.
