Kahoot!

It is one of the most popular alternatives among teachers for their students to review and test curricular knowledge. With it, questionnaires are created that simulate a question and answer contest, thus adding the gamification component to the classroom. Each of the students accesses the exercise from their tablet, mobile phone or computer and, once the game is finished, everyone can see the results of the class.

ClassDojo

It is a platform designed for teachers to manage their classes and groups of students, thus creating a community. To reinforce a positive environment, they include a gamification component that also stimulates participation and good behavior in the classroom. In this way, a communication channel is created between teachers, parents and students to know the performance of the latter in the classroom, which is reflected in the form of points and badges. Thus, parents and teachers can be on the same page when educating students and encouraging them to reach their full potential.

Lumosity

It consists of various mini-games through which the student's cognitive patterns are analyzed to create a report in which to discover both their strengths and weaknesses that must be enhanced. With this data, develop a brain training program to test the students' critical thinking, memory, and problem-solving skills.

Khan Academy

Teachers can act as tutors in a virtual classroom and set mastery goals for everyone equally or for each student separately. The objective? That they reach the necessary level on the subject studied.

Google Classroom

The organization of classes, homework and even individual and collective work can be carried out with this application. Thus, teachers have more control over everything that happens in the classroom while students can communicate with them or with their classmates to organize study sessions.

Duolingo

One of the most popular alternatives to learn languages ​​(English, French or Portuguese), it is free and has no advertising. In it you work by units like games: for example, you lose lives with incorrect answers, and you earn points and level up when you get it right.
