One of My Favourite: Meet Kahoot!

 

Kahoot is an interactive online learning platform that allows educators and students to create and participate in quizzes, surveys, and games in real-time. It is often used as an educational tool in classrooms, but can also be used for remote learning and training sessions.

Kahoot allows users to create and customize their own quizzes, which can be played individually or in groups. The quizzes are designed to be interactive and engaging, with questions presented in a game-like format, complete with a leaderboard and music. Users can join a game by entering a game PIN on their device, and then answering the questions on their device as they are presented on a shared screen.

Kahoot is often used as a form of formative assessment, allowing educators to gauge student understanding in real-time, and identify areas where further instruction may be needed. It can also be used as a fun and engaging way to review material or reinforce key concepts.

In addition to quizzes, Kahoot also offers other interactive learning activities such as surveys and discussions. Surveys can be used to gather feedback from students or to assess prior knowledge before a lesson, while discussions allow students to share their thoughts and ideas with each other in a structured way.Kahoot also has a "Challenge" feature that allows students to play a quiz at their own pace, either individually or as a team, and compete with others for the highest score. This feature is often used as a homework assignment or for self-directed learning.Furthermore, Kahoot offers a variety of pre-made quizzes and resources, which can be used by educators to save time in creating their own quizzes or to supplement their existing lessons.

Overall, Kahoot is a versatile platform that can be used in a variety of educational settings to engage students, assess learning, and reinforce key concepts.
