Abstract

Wordwall is na online platform that allows teachers to create and share interactive teaching games for their students. The platform allows the creation of various activities, such as word games, crosswords, cards, multiple choice exercises, among others. Students can access these activities on their devices and participate interactively. Wordwall also offers monitoring and assessment tools, allowing teachers to monitor students' progress. Therefore, this research aims to study the possibilities for developing digital didactic games on the Wordwall Platform, focusing on Ecology content and its impact on the learning process of students in the 3rd year of high school. Data collection was done through the explanation of content in the area of Ecology and the application of a questionnaire with objective and essay questions about the evaluation of each participant in relation to the game interface used during the teaching process. The results showed that students are very interested and motivated when using the Wordwall platform as an educational tool. They demonstrated that they enjoy participating in dynamic and interactive activities, which indicates that digital games can be an effective way of encouraging teaching with gamified resources and active learning. According to the study, the Wordwall platform offered a wide range of interactive activities that could be customized to meet students' specific needs. This highlighted how important it is for digital educational resources to be adaptable and flexible to facilitate personalized teaching according to each secondary education process.
