Show Notes
Today we are talking all about Kahoot – a web-based assessment tool that is essentially setup like a game show. Teachers create questions, the questions are displayed, and students individually respond with what they think is the correct answer. Scores are kept automatically and are reported out in between each question. The result is a formative assessment that is actually really engaging!
The first step is for teachers to create the Kahoot, which is made very simple through their drag & drop creator tool. This can be done on any device. Quizzes can have embedded images and video, which is great too.
Once your Kahoot is complete, project the quiz in the front of the room and have all your students join using their device (no account necessary, just the quiz ID). It will ask for their name, this is what will show as they accumulate points.
Ultimately students will then answer questions in real time, with their results showing on their individual screen and the leaderboard displays at the front of the room. The game pauses in between each question to allow for discussion on any topics that may seem to need clarification.
