Although this game-based tool is not useful for deep learning, it is great for pre-assessment and review.

How I Use It

Usually, I use Kahoot as a pre-assessment for a new unit. This helps me determine students' knowledge base and form small instructional groups. I also often use it a the end of class to assess learning. This enables me to determine if reteaching is necessary individually or through whole-class. Kahoot is exciting and competitive, so I would not recommend using it at the beginning of class. It is difficult to get students calm and focused for learning.
