The use of technology in teaching can make the students have a fun learning. Technology also has the power to transform teaching by ushering a new model of connected teaching.

The use of technology also increases studentsÔÇÖ engagement and motivation and accelerates learning. However, Mostly students get bored with the traditional tools and ways of teaching. In this case, teachersÔÇÖ creativity in modifying teaching and technology is needed since students nowadays are engaged with their digital tools. Therefore, there is one solution to overcome this case which called Kahoot.A Kahoot is a free game-based learning platform that can be created by teachers, students, and social users. It is used in realtime, to an unlimited number of ÔÇ£playersÔÇØ. Kahoot can be used to monitor each studentÔÇÖs knowledge and to identify areas where the students would benefit from more one-to-one teaching, but it is more generally used as a break from traditional classroom activities.
