Gentest y elaboración de #Kahoot! para la clase de inglés

Hace casi 20 años, el equipo del CEFIRE de Elda coordinó el trabajo de cientos de docentes para crear una herramienta con el objetivo de que pudiera resultar útil en la enseñanza y aprendizaje.

Así surgió Gentest, un programa cuyo objetivo era la generación tests a partir de unos contenidos estructurados por niveles y distintas asignaturas con grandes posibilidades de personalización y de ampliación. Poco a poco, en sucesivas convocatorias al profesorado se llegaron a las casi 100.000 preguntas. El programa en su versión para docentes (Gentest) y para el alumnado (Test) se difundió en la Biblioteca virtual del CEFIRE de Elda, la extinta Virtu que los y las más veteranas tal vez recordaréis, y en los CD-ROM y DVD que durante cada curso reunían materiales cedidos por el profesorado para su publicación y su reutilización.

Aprovechando las bases de datos de Gentest y gracias a la iniciativa de algunos compañeros a los que tuve el placer de acompañar en una inolvidable etapa profesional, se ha presentado un recurso destinado a crear Kahoot! personalizados para diversas etapas y cursos.

Incluyo aquí para su utilización un enlace desde el que podéis descargar una plantilla, preguntas y explicaciones con el fin de automatizar la creación de Kahoot! para la asignatura de inglés. Interesante, más en estas circunstancias.
