Engaging learning with kahoot

    As a professor, I find Kahoot to be a highly effective tool for promoting engagement and active learning in the classroom. Its game-based quizzes make learning fun and interactive, enhancing student motivation and retention. 

    The platform offers real-time feedback, which helps students quickly gauge their understanding of material. Additionally, Kahoot's flexibility allows it to be used across various subjects and levels, and its user-friendly design makes it easy for both instructors and students to navigate. However, the tool does have limitations. 

    The effectiveness of Kahoot is heavily reliant on the quality of the questions, and it is better suited for review rather than deep exploration of complex topics. Furthermore, it requires a stable internet connection, so technical issues can disrupt sessions. To make the most of Kahoot, it's essential to align questions with learning objectives, incorporate a variety of question types, foster a positive environment that encourages participation, and analyze results to adjust teaching strategies as needed. 

    Despite its shortcomings, Kahoot remains a valuable asset for enhancing classroom interaction and making learning more engaging. Let's try Kahoot.

Present perfect and its use

Imagine you’re at a reunion, catching up with friends, and you want to share all the incredible things you've accomplished since you last met. How do you communicate those experiences in English? Enter the present perfect tense - a powerful tool that bridges your past achievements with your present reality. Let's say that  you’re a time-traveling detective solving a mystery that spans across decades. The present perfect tense is your magic gadget that lets you talk about things that happened at some undefined time in the past but are still relevant to the present. It's like saying, "I’ve cracked the case!" without specifying exactly when, just emphasizing that the mystery-solving affects the current situation. The present perfect tense is formed by combining the present tense of the auxiliary verb "have" (either "have" or "has") with the past participle of the main verb.
