Kahoot for You

Kahoot is a digital online educational tool.  Since today's society is highly driven by technology this could be a great way to get children involved in the class learning.  This could be an additional fun way to supplement the curriculum.  This game is used by the teacher, they would create an account and then create questions for the students to answer.  All the questions are multiple choice, and all the students would play at the same time.  This can also encourage children to take part and be competitive with one another.  Kahoot is a game-based learning tool. It is easy to create, share, and have trivia quizzes in minutes. 

Since Kahoot is a digital tool I believe it would be better used by junior/intermediate students. They would more than likely be familiar with the use of devices, as well they are more likely to have a device available for use. Kahoot could be a great activity to use for today's digital learning.  Many children and adults are learning online now, and this game is a wonderful way to get everyone involved and participating in the class. 

Below are YouTube videos on how to set it up as an educator and how to use it in the classroom.
