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.
