Kahoot!

  • Kahoot is a great tool for students to further their learning in any subject area, and with a fun competitive twist on it!
  • Teachers can create an exact Kahoot that will help extend their lesson plan. A Kahoot can have several different layouts and ending goals. The teacher can write the Kahoot to have several same answers to provoke a conversation between the students. The Kahoot can also have open ended answers in which the students would have to verbally explain. The possibilities are endless and can really bring a unit to life. 
  • There are not costs associated with Kahoot.
  • Kahoot can be found at https://getkahoot.com
  • I anticipate using Kahoot in my German classes this year! The students will use this as an end of lesson assessment. Here is an example of a short end of lesson assessment: https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/82ca46d8-abe8-4822-b3e8-6650237347d5













     

I could not figure out how to actually play a game without knowing other people that are "on" to play against, but I was able to search around the website for all of the various games available to the public and attempted to play several of them.  I really enjoyed the option of playing with teams or individually.
