General Info
Since March 2020, teaching has become remote because of Covid-19. New methodological approaches have been implemented, in Matematichs and in Science, not only for teaching, but also for the verification of learning. I considered the use of the game as a form of evaluation of individual and group learning. The experiences I designed, which see the use of digital resources on the net, are exposed here.
Audience and Educational Framework
Educational Details
Gamification is a very engaging way to verify distance learning. I have proposed different types of online games in both mathematics and science. The motivation to learn was remarkable and the verification of learning was not a fearful and boring moment, but fun and useful for me.
To know the locomotor system
To know Mendel and genetics
To knowing how to perform equations and literal calculation.
To collaborate with others for a common goal
I indicate below the resources I used.

Implementation
(where and how the practice was implemented)
During Covid-19 lockdown, I offered my students a path that was as captivating as possible and close to their background. the presentation of the agorments was not conveyed through the frontal lesson, but through online resources, as well as the verification of the learning. It did not seem appropriate to verify their learning through a classic question in front of a screen, as it is easy to look at a book and cheat the teacher. So I made the tests in the form of single game or in groups, which involved them a lot and had fun and they served me to give me a more truthful view of the learning. Each game was played remotely in 40 minutes. I formed teams of 4-5 pupils, each different, and each pupil took turns answering the questions, earning a score. At the end the winning team was evaluated. Sometimes the game was individual and the top three winners were rated.
All the boys participated enthusiastically and made their contribution to the team they belong to. Disabled pupils with specific learning needs were also an active part of the groups.
