O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o uso do "kahoot" como recurso educacional no processo de ensino-aprendizagem para estudantes do ensino médio da área de informática. Para isso, utilizou-se uma abordagem exploratória, descritiva e bibliográfica. A pesquisa foi realizada com 34 alunos do curso técnico em informática para internet do Instituto Federal de Goiás (IFG). Os alunos realizaram as atividades propostas e em seguida responderam a um questionário através de um formulário do GoogleDocs. De acordo com os resultados da utilização da plataforma, verificou-se uma melhora na aprendizagem dos alunos revisando e reforçando os conceitos aprendidos de maneira divertida, engajadora, motivadora e interessante.
