Brilliant

asuncionaliciamartinez — 2024-04-07 00:03:46 UTC

I really like Brilliant.org as they provide visual and interactive ways of understanding math, which can be daunting to students at the middle/highschool level. Brilliant does an excellent way in chunking the material which helps for students to tackle the "puzzles" at their own pace. It is also created with a positive reinforcement background, where students are given badges every time they're able to complete a module or puzzle. Brilliant also focuses on building the concepts necessary for computer science and information engineering.

Kahoot gives you instant statistics such as which questions did most students have trouble with and which questions were answered correct by all.
