Community reviews for Kahoot!

I really love how excited the students get to review. Most of the time, students are bored to review material on paper. This is a heart-pumping, adrenaline-filled way to engage students in review and learning. Using this app more often would allow my students to each answer the same question instead of calling on only one student. It can also help with self-assessment because the students will know how they are doing. Following the review, it would be helpful to have the students rate their success. I also like the reporting tools that I can gather data from. This is a great app!

Overall, I think this is a fun and engaging tool that gets students excited to apply what they have learned. I am sure that creating the quizzes yourself may take a bit of time and preparation, but there are many pre-created quizzes you can customize for your classroom. Overall, this is a great assessment tool and I look forward to using it more in the future.

I recommend quizizz.com as an alternative. Students don't love it as much, but it has many more features (reporting back scores, available as homework, etc.).

We love Kahoot! My students beg to do a Kahoot quiz. They are fun and engaging. It is a great way to assess mastery on a topic. The quizzes are easy to make or to find one that is already made.

My students love Kahoot! It was pretty easy to set up; however, the first time I set up a game I set up my answers incorrectly and had to redo my game. Now I feel like I know what I am doing and have enjoyed the fun way it gets my students motivated and have fun while learning. I really like that a teacher can use Kahoot for all grade levels and different class sizes as well.

My overall opinion about the project it is a simple way to involve fun into a lesson to see where your students stand. To make everything more interesting. It is also convenient that you as the teacher can review which question was missed by what student. But it is hard to set the full idea of where a student may be if it is easy to see other computers next to or in front of them. It is a lot easier for student to trust the person next to them if they do know fully know the right answer.

Multiple choice questions are only as good as the various options/distractors. I find that because it's timed, students want to beat the clock rather than think carefully about the different options. When students write the questions they similarly write distractors as single word options. In short, it's fun and engaging, but the depth of thinking and the data it provides is not particularly actionable. I notice an over-reliance on Kahoot! because it's fun and competitive, but in terms of actual pedagogical practice, it's limited.

I personally really enjoy Kahoot. It engages students while they learn. It makes the learning fun by making it a competitive game. The analytics are great to see which students need more help in specific areas. I think that this is very useful even to use in college level courses.

I think this tool helps generate interest due to the competitive nature of quiz games.

I think this tool is great for a "quick review" strategy. Students can see whether they are on the right track and how they "compare" to the rest of the class. Teachers can also gain insight on students understanding of topics. I would recommend doing this activity followed by a paper activity. Such as "choose one key term from the Kahoot game that you understand and describe in three sentences 1)What does this mean 2) why it is important 3) how it is used. This will hold students accountable. Before giving students the link to the Kahoot game, I would review rules/expectations for usernames. Often times students will create "funny" usernames and there is not a way for the teacher to see who the student really is. Overall, a great activity.
