Why use Kahoot in the classroom?
What is Kahoot? A Kahoot is a game-based learning platform that is a fun electronic multiple-choice quiz on a website or app. I have had a lot of experience with Kahoots and find that they are a great tool for teachers to use. I'll be discussing how Kahoots can be used in the classroom environment and why.
Kahoot's can be used to engage students or even be used to assess students, but stepping away from the average pencil and paper assessment. It makes learning fun and is a way to get students socializing with one another. Assessments often intimidate students and students oftentimes don't perform to their fullest potential due to the amount of anxiety that they face when being assessed.
Kahoots can help eliminate the anxiety around assessments and helps the educator collect valuable data about where the students are at. Kahoots are also a creative and fun way to incorporate technology into the classroom. One feature that is a bonus for teachers is that Kahoot collates the data and makes it available for you in a downloadable spreadsheet, where you can see if students are struggling with anything in particular.
Kahoots are also a creative way for teachers to have students do homework online when they are at home (permitting all students have access to an electronic device).
I personally believe that using Kahoot is a perfect way to introduce technology into the classroom.
