Abstract

Some classes were given about the fundamental facts using the traditional method (working with blackboard and drinking straw) and digital activities, built with assistance from the Hot Potatoes software. Finally, a questionnaire was applied to determine which teaching method was more meaningful and easier to acquire knowledge.
