Tuesday's Tech Tip!
Using Kahoot
Kahoot!
Kahoot is a fun and easy to use learning tool that can be used to Gamify a classroom. Have you seen those games at Sports Bars, where you get a device to use to answer questions displayed on the TV's? The players answer questions, then see real-time results on TV. They can see who is in the lead, who has highest score, etc. Kahoot works very similarly like that.
The this works is the educators creates a free account and then the students join a session via a browser based device (this is great for mobile devices). The educator then asks questions (i.e. quizzes, polls, surveys, etc.) and the students try to answer first. Their results get displayed in real-time up on a screen. The questions you can create may include images, video, or text, and are done so using a very user-friendly drag and drop interface.
This is a great tool for differentiating instruction as educators can find which areas that specific students may need help in. Students can even be the leader and be the one to create a "Kahoot" (session) and quiz their peers.
