Abstrakt: The best pedagogical applications of technology improve student engagement and participation. Here, we discuss challenges and benefits of using a variety of technology tools for educational purposes and how some of the challenges were overcome. Specifically, this article discusses how Kahoot, Twitter, infographics (Piktochart and Canva), and Bitstrips were used in five different courses to help improve student engagement. Each comes with benefits and challenges. We will demonstrate some of the challenges inherent in the tools chosen and also how they were overcome, mitigated, or otherwise addressed, and how well each tool served to improve student engagement and participation.
