Using our simple and speedy ‘drag n drop’
creation tool, create and manage ‘Kahoots’ in the form of quizzes,
surveys or polls related to specific topics; either asking quick
questions ‘on the go’ to get feedback or opinion, or more in depth
questions for formative assessment. Content can be shared with
educators, learners or colleagues globally.
Launch Kahoots on the screen at the front of
the room, and learners join through their personal devices. In real-time
and with gaming elements to increase engagement and motivation,
learners answer questions through their personal devices. Educators get
an overview of the current knowledge levels of everyone in the room for
formative assessment, and can adapt their teaching accordingly.
Either collaboratively or individually, and
motivated to gain a deeper knowledge of specific topics, learners are
challenged to create their own Kahoots in the form of quizzes. Through
their personal device, learners think up and answer their own questions
through thorough research and the collation and/or self creation of
imagery and video. Their learning is reinforced by thinking up potential
wrong answers to questions, as well as the right ones.
Learners share their new found knowledge by
playing their Kahoot back to other learners. Educators assess the
quality of questions they are asking, whilst the other learners answer
the questions through the powerful classroom engagement tool.
Web Resource this week is a cheat sheet of terminology & definitions that you may be hearing in your profession.
