My Take

I like that Kahoot! is accessible on multiple forms of technology, and is not limited to any one subject area. It does tend to freeze on the students, which can take the fun out using the application. At the end of each Quiz you are able to download the results, which is an easy way to gather grades. Kahoot! also has an "end quiz" button that allows you to stop the quiz at any point and time, so it doesn't force you to rush through the whole quiz if you run out of class time.

How I Use It

I use it for weekly quizzes, beginning of school introductions, classroom competitions, and STAAR review. For example, at Science/Math Night you can set up a game show area using Kahoot! plus a few Ipads, and provide prizes for the winners. The application has so many quizzes that have been shared by other users, so if you are having trouble creating your own, then it is easy to find one premade that will suit your needs.

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 Date of experience: 27.02. 2025

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! also forces teachers to manually move on to the next question, giving them a chance to discuss the question and/or take student questions. Additionally, Kahoot!'s leaderboard displays the top 5 players after each question, but does not expose the positions of students lower, and even provides an anonymous player option if teachers wish to use this feature. 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.
