More than 1 billion play Kahoot every year, and it\u2019s easy to see why. Teachers can pre-load questions, and then students guess the correct answers as the clock ticks down.

Students love fighting for the top spot in the class. You can use Kahoot synchronously or asynchronously, and you can see how students did after the game is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eslbasics.com\/blog\/teacher-posts\/5-online-tools-to-increase-student-engagement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 Online Tools to Increase Student Engagement<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eslbasics.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ESL Basics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this expert article, Andrea Giordano\u00a0talks about five useful insights to improve student engagement online.
