Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the modern world where all aspects of our lives are undergoing the changes technology is bringing about, teaching has not been an exception. Generations are developing, demands are changing, and we need to keep up with those changes if we don’t want to be the ‘conservative’ type of teachers. Hence, a lot of online teaching tools, applications and resources are emerging to make our classes more interactive, fun, and effective. Among those tools, we can find platforms where students can post videos, get feedback (Flipgrid), platforms where we can create quizzes based on video material (TubeQuizard) and prepare pop up quizzes for vocabulary revision, grammar games, sentence structure, opinion poll and more. As I found out, Kahoot! is a free online platform for creating and running learning games. It can be used to create multiple-choice questions with embedded pictures and videos. Teachers can either create their own Kahoots or search for publicly available games. There are tons of Kahoots out there based on specific textbooks such as New English File or specific grammar points. You can also check out trending Kahoots as well as most popular ones, although bear in mind that not all of them will be related to language learning – Kahoot is popular in all learning environments and subjects including regular school subjects like chemistry or math.
