Why, it's a Kahoot!

7/21/2014

20 Comments

 
Summer is winding down, so that means I need to get back into school mode.  What better way than to share a new tool find on my blog!

Kahoot is an amazing game-based student response system where you can create and play quizzes, discussions or even surveys (these are called Kahoots) using any device with a web browser.  Students then join the Kahoots by going to Kahoot.it and entering the game pin.

Creating questions in Kahoot is really easy using a drag and drop fashion and completing the available fields.  You can even attach photos to the questions.  
Picture
Once you launch your Kahoot, a game pin is generated that you share with students (the game pin is new each time you launch a Kahoot - it is not question specific).
Picture
Students then enter the pin and join your Kahoot. Remember, students go to Kahoot.it in order to enter the pin, and they can use any device that has a web browser (smart phone, iPad, computer, Android tablet, etc).
Picture
Once all your students have joined the Kahoot, launch the question, which will show up on your screen only.  In addition, the possible answers will also be displayed.  When you are setting up the question, you can pick time limit, number of answers, etc. to make it suitable to your classroom.
Picture
The student view only shows the selection tool for the possible answers, and the students select one based on the answer choices on your screen.  The best part is that even preschool students can participate using Kahoot!
Picture
I really think what makes Kahoot stand out against other response systems/survey sites is the back-end data you receive.  You can download your results (via Excel) in order to review the students' performance on the Kahoots. The responses are anonymous during the actual question/answer view, and only you as teacher have access to the student specific data. 
Picture
Kahoot is a great collaboration tool too, as you can share your Kahoots with your colleagues.  What a great team tool to use for common practice and assessment.

I think the possibilities are endless with - it would be a great review tool, quiz tool, discussion starter for a new unit, exit ticket tool, etc.  I plan to use it for my bell work each Thursday as either an introduction to a topic or a check-in point.  And the data on the back end will help me identify students needing additional assistance - a win-win for me!

Until next time...

Article marketing is something done by a lot of people. As people become more proficient in article marketing, they tend to pass that knowledge onto others. The means that they use in order to pass that knowledge along can be different.

Its a helpfull article and Thanks for sharing this kind of information.
It demonstrates independent work completed in a timely manner, often reflecting an education well above the average education level of that from a public or private school.
The more customized and in-depth lessons learned by those with home schooling education provide a much more well-rounded real-life education for after high school years.

Hi Jacaleigh! Once you select to "play" the game, you will be directed to pick either 1:1 or team. After that selection, you will see the game pin at the top of the screen. Give this code to students so they can join your Kahoot.

Hope that helps!
Kara
