Kahoot

 Kahoot !!!

   

     Kahoot is an amazing way to interact with your students using technology. You can create kahoots for all grade levels. Students really enjoy playing kahoot games from my experience. For example, you can create a review for students to play before giving them their assessment. In previous classrooms, we had vocabulary tests every other week. I would create a kahoot using the exact questions and answers from the assessment given. Students really learned their vocabulary and did wonderful on their assessments after using Kahoot. Kahoot is used for introducing new content, review contents, engage students from virtual learning at home, teach interactive lessons, and reinforce knowledge. Kahoot is designed for teachers to create subjects for students to learn. This is a creative use of technology in a classroom. Kahoot allows teachers to create, host and play, and then share with all students. I feel that Kahoot is a great way to gain attention of all students in a classroom. Each student will use his/her chromebook and join the game code under kahoot.com. Once every student is connected you can start the activity. After starting, you can use your smartboard to display all the questions. Kahoots are also very well for using daily 5 in your classroom. You can assign students to take advantage of learning by creating Kahoots that correspond with each lesson being taught.
