Kahoot

There are lots of fun tools and apps out there. One of the ones that I really enjoy using and watching being used is Kahoot.

Kahoot is game based quizzes and assessments. It is fun and colourful, and appeals to students of any ages (and teachers too).

Game-based learning can get a bit of flack - thanks Dan Pink - but I argue that it does have a place in our classrooms. This is particularly the case in those difficult-to-engage moments. Think last period Year 9!

Kahoot is easy to set up and get going as Susan Johnson demonstrates.



For me though, the real joy is on those moments when that student is fully engaged.




Good luck with your Kahooting!
