How does it work?
Here are three ways to get started with Kahoot! in your classroom:
1. Quizzes: - Create your own quiz, have a student create one or find a public quiz! To start a quiz, decide on a title and then drag and drop your content and add your questions. Your content can feature pictures or videos which makes it great for all grade levels. This is a great way to flip your classroom and use the data to drive your next days lessons or small groups.
2. Discussions: Creating discussion questions is easy. Decide on a title and then ask your probing question. You can also have your students pose questions to launch a discussion using their devices. Ms. Tapia, the Art teacher at AIS, created one to go over classroom management/procedures. Ms. Kerestine, an ELA teacher at AIS, let the students write questions, to get them used to how Kahoot! works. Those submitted with quality questions and correct grammar were chosen.
3. Surveys: Take a real-time poll of your students wants/needs? For example: what type of devices do we have in our classrooms from BYOT? This can also be used for an exit ticket to determine how a lesson went or gauge the students knowledge on a topic.
If you find a public quiz, discussion or survey you can also ‘favorite’ it by clicking on the heart.
Students do NOT need to have a Kahoot! account to play the games, but you can sign up your class easily once you created an account. If you have students under 13, Kahoot! has an under 16 where their account doesn’t allow students to post their content publicly, or browse public content created by others. To create student accounts, download their template and send it to Kahoot! They’ll create their accounts for you, yes you don’t have to create them!
Create. Launch. Play.
CREATE
Through a simple 'drag & drop' creator tool (using any device), build quizzes with embedded imagery and video, based on educational content. Or, find public content to play.
LAUNCH
Engage the room and focus attention by projecting the quiz onto the screen at the front. Without needing an account, everyone in the room quickly joins through their personal device, seeing their name appear at the front.
PLAY
Answering questions in real time through an easy-to-use interface, they play against each other aiming to top the on-screen leaderboard, whilst you facilitate and discuss the content.
