Best Alternatives to Kahoot

By Med Kharbach, PhD | Last Update: June 27, 2023


Kahoot is a game-based learning platform that allows educators to create fun, interactive quizzes that students can participate in using any device with an Internet connection. It adds a dose of competition to learning, fostering engagement and boosting knowledge retention in a playful way.


However, as captivating as Kahoot may be, the realm of EdTech is vast and brimming with alternatives that could cater to different teaching styles and learning needs. As a seasoned educator and an EdTech blogger, I have had the privilege to explore and review a wide array of these digital tools. I have encountered several innovative platforms that are well-equipped to offer a similar, if not superior, learning experience compared to Kahoot.

In this blog post, I’m thrilled to share some of these alternatives to Kahoot, shedding light on their unique features and how they might better serve specific educational objectives. Whether you’re in search of a new way to engage your students, or you’re curious about what else is out there in the EdTech universe, this guide will provide valuable insights.

6 of The Best AI Content Detectors for Teachers and Educators

By Med Kharbach, PhD | Last Update: May 26, 2023


AI generated content is now everywhere online. The infamous ChatGPT is but the tip of the iceberg. In fact, AI content generation tools have been around for several months before the introduction of ChatGPT.

Like any other technology, when abused or used inappropriately, these AI tools can turn into a devastating technology, harming content creators and promoting a culture of plagiarism, inauthenticity, and amateurism.

If you are an educator or a teacher, you probably are already dealing with the repercussions of these AI tools in your daily work. More and more students are using AI (especially AI writing tools) to help them with their learning and we can not stop them from doing that. But we can not accept that they turn in AI-generated essays and assignments.

As much as they help in optimizing and creating transformative learning experiences, AI tools also create challenging problems for us in education, most of which are related to plagiarism and originality.

This digital platform specializes in offering a variety of study modes, including flashcards, tests, and interactive games, all aimed at improving knowledge retention and making studying more engaging.

In the following sections, I’ll delve into these tools, all of which I’ve previously reviewed in previous posts here in Educators Technology. These are all EdTech tools that I believe are can serve as viable alternatives to Quizlet.

A wordle is a word cloud created from words. The more frequent a word appears in the input text the larger its size becomes in the wordle. Indeed, wordle arts have huge educational potential and can be used in various learning activities. For instance, students can use wordle makers to summarize a text or a passage they have read.

They can also use them to quickly scan a document and develop an initial idea of what it is all about before even reading the entire text. Word clouds are also perfect in activities related to creating art and visual displays, gathering students feedback, writing book reviews, visualizing data from tables and surveys, and many more.

Millions of content creators are using YouTube to share their works and reach audiences from all around the world.

By Med Kharbach, PhD August 29, 2022 Audio transcription apps, Speech to text apps

In this post I share with you a collection of some of the best audio transcription apps that you and your students can use to easily convert audio recordings to text. These speech to text apps offer a wide range of features that are especially ideal for us in education. Students can use them to record lectures and voice memos and have them automatically transcribed within minutes. Some of these apps even offer real-time transcription. Transcribed text can be edited for accuracy and be shared with others via email or uploaded to other apps.









Audio transcription apps can be used by ESL students to expand their vocabulary and learn English language as it is spoken in context. Students who are deaf or hard of hearing will also find these speech to text apps very helpful. Additionally, those of you who can not stand going through voice memos to remember what is being said or those of you who prefer to read notes instead of listening to recorded audio, these transcription apps are definitely a life-saver.

Ferramentas web de anotação online - dedicadas em especial a professores e alunos

Best Web Annotation Tools and Apps for Teachers and Students

By Med Kharbach, PhD May 24, 2022 web annotating tools
Annotation is a great way to capture and record your thoughts as you interact with reading resources (e.g., web pages, documents, PDFs, images, and videos). Annotation also offers a deeper level of engagement with text and is one of the efficient strategies for close and critical reading.

Annotating, as Porter-O’Donnell (2004) stated, is “a writing-to-learn strategy for use while reading or re-reading…[It] helps readers reach a deeper level of engagement and promotes active reading. It makes the reader’s “dialogue with the text” (Probst) a visible record of the thoughts that emerge while making sense of the reading” (p. 82).

Besides enhancing one’s comprehension of a text, annotation is also a great way to promote collaborative team work. Students working on the same project can record their comments at the margins of their reading documents then share their annotated docs with their collaborators and engage in interactive discussions.

There is a wide variety of web tools and mobile apps you can use to annotate web content and PDFs. Below is a collection of some of the best annotation tools and apps I recommend for teachers and students. I organized these resources into three main categories: web-based tools, PDF apps, and Screenshot tools.

I. Web-based annotation tools
These are web tools and Chrome extensions that you can use to add annotations to websites.


1. InsertLearning
InsertLearning enables you to easily markup any web page and transform it into an interactive document by inserting various videos, questions, discussions, and more. Students can easily access your annotations by visiting that website. They can respond to your questions, engage in discussions and add

Educational technology is a dynamic field of research and study. This dynamism stems mainly from the constant flow of new educational web technologies and the emergence of novel educational technology concepts that provide theoretical underpinnings for these technologies. The challenge for teachers is not only in keeping up with this fast moving trend but also with understanding the basic foundational concepts without which any talk about educational technology integration in class would be futile.

Now that the world is going digital, having a virtual space where you and your students create, discuss, and share learning resources can do wonders to your teaching.
