Kahoot It for Success!
Kahoot is an outstanding website to help assess what students know in a fun and interactive way. I love how the students can't see what other students have done, but that they are excited when they know they are going to go on it. They like their assessments on it and so they are engaged and want to do well. Kahoot allows you to insert videos and your own pictures to help enhance the quiz. The program also will give you an excel sheet on who answered what and whether it was right or wrong. If you have a classroom that is one to one I would highly insist you look into this website. You will not be disappointed.

Highly Engaging Q & A that Students LOVE!
I love that students can be put in teams to collaborate or work independently. They can use various devices including desktops, laptops, iPads, phones, etc. If used individually, teachers can check for understanding at the end of the Q & A. It is great for a review and so engaging for students. It is competitive which makes it more engaging for students. Students often ask me when we are going to use Kahoot and get very excited when we do. Do to the interest and level of engagement, I am trying to incorporate it more into my lessons when possible. It is FREE and very user-friendly for students and teachers!

Have Fun with Learning with Kahoot!
Overall, I enjoy using this program for quick reviews in class. We have played the game as a full class and in small groups. Students love the fact that the leader board shows on the projector after each question, but I encourage students to submit random user names if they do not want their rank to be made public in class. While this is a fun game and students are excited to play, if you play the same kahoot too many times, students tend to memorize answers rather than thinking about the correct answer to the question. It would be nice to have the questions and answers to questions randomized automatically, so students would be discouraged from memorizing the answers.

From all Multiple Quiz Apps I tried, Kahoot is the best one for Students
I like this project as a teaching tool because it´s a different way to revise or pre-assess knowledge (always analyzing the responses summary). Best thing is that there are plenty of quizzes already available that you can edit and adjust to your syllabus or just use them. It´s true that the platform doesn´t help to copy/edit others and it´s a bit tedious, but not too complicated either. Some of the kids are very competitive and they really enjoy showing their knowledge through games like that (as it states after each questions the top 3). I am afraid that students who struggle reading fast and choosing an answer in a short period of time may struggle in this type of quiz and maybe not very effective.

My kids demand we play this in the classroom. Who am I to argue?
There's thousands of quizzes already on the site, so don't create one. It already exists. My kids love to play this game, and they get to use their phones to submit their answers. I also ask the students to create a question for the class quiz, so students are creating their own classroom assessments.

My opinion is that its a nice way to change things up. It's better than giving them a sheet of paper pop quiz. The broad range of topics that are covered are great too it gives endless possibilities.
