Future of EdTech Educator
Dr. Hessa, like any educator, strives to enhance the teaching and learning environment through the use of technologies which have become accessible everywhere and at all times. This poster session reflects her experience as a professor at Kuwait University who uses online games with her college students and through this tool they have become more motivated, engaged, and focused in the classroom. She uses games like “Kahoot!” And “Blended Play” as icebreakers, review sessions, assessment tools, introductory activities, and for some other purposes. These games reinforce students’ learning when playing individually or in groups and helps them improve skills such as critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills in a joyful atmosphere.
