My Take
I dislike multiple-choice questions in general, and Kahoot works best with that sort of format, so it kind of forces me to put complex concepts into small questions with limited text. However, the engagement makes it worth it, and it CAN be used to teach complex concepts DURING the game when students are at that heightened engagement level.
How I Use It
I have only used Kahoot to help students review for tests. It allows teachers to create a gameshow-like experience for students, including music and a scoreboard. Kids get really excited and enjoy playing!

Not very helpfull without pro version
It is a good learning tool, very intuitive and easy to use. On the other hand, they constantly decrease the character limit or functionalities for free users. Overall, the app is not so financially inclusive for lower income students. Have a nice day

Engaging, interactive review
Kahoot! helps student practice fast-paced recall as they race to be the first to answer correctly, giving them points and pushing them higher up on the leaderboard.

Kahoot! consistently provides an engaging form of learning and review for students.

Engaging way to review and study!
Kahoot is a brilliant platform for students, especially when reviewing a lesson learned or studying for a test. It essentially is an interactive group study session, where teachers and educators can personalize their own Kahoots to fit into their lesson plans. It's free, easy-to-use, and kids love it! As a middle schooler, we were introduced to Kahoot and I still think it's one of the best ways to review for a test in a fun, stress-free way--giving kids the opportunity to apply what they learned in a competitive game.
