About Kahoot!

Kahoot! is a learning management system (LMS), which helps schools and higher education institutions create games, interact with students via online sessions, streamline remote learning processes and track class progress via formative assessments. Professionals can share reports with teachers or administrators and use quizzes or puzzles to improve class engagement. Kahoot! allows organizations to host live games with various question types such as multiple-choice, true/false, images or short answers. Supervisors can gain visibility into the number of players or questions, view students' performance and generate reports in real-time to identify difficult questions. Additionally, higher education institutions can engage with students via video conferences and review learning content to manage exam preparation. Kahoot! enables schools to request students' feedback via polls during games and adjust sessions' time according to requirements. The product is available for free and on monthly or annual subscriptions and support is extended via video tutorials, live chat, documentation and other online measures.

Students love Kahoot! Teachers love Kahoot!

Creating engaging and exciting assessments for students so that I can check for understanding on key concepts.

Pros

Kahoot is a brilliant creation! If you teach in a one-to-one setting or have access to devices, you need to consider using Kahoot right away! Basically, it's a student assessment tool, but you it's a game-like setting, which makes it fun for the students. Here's why I love it:
- First off, students love playing it! The friendly competition is engaging and they are always excited to share what they know in this game.
- It's so easy to set up for teachers. You can create your own Kahoot question sets in a matter of minutes. In maybe 10 minutes you can create a fun, 10-20 question quiz game for your kids. Quick and easy!
- You have the ability to obtain data on your kids! After the Kahoot, you know what your students do or don't know. And then you can use this data to reteach concepts they're struggling with.
- They offer an online library where you can use other question sets created by other teachers. That's extremely handy! Just review what's been created beforehand to make sure it's appropriate for you kids.
- It's always been reliable and worked. I can't say the same for other edtech tools that I consistently use. Kahoot's website just always works!
- They recently offered a team mode which challenges students to collaborate on quizzes. This is a cool update, and I expect to see Kahoot to continue to be cutting edge with their product.
- It's simple to get students "logged in." All that's required is for them to type in a link, enter a number, and add name.

Cons

I am a big fan of Kahoot, so I have nothing to complain about. I would just recommend users to use it wisely. If you want extremely reliable data with little error, you may want to choose another platform. Kahoot encourages students to think and answer quickly, and they may lead them to occasionally select the wrong answer by accident or because of the time feature. You obviously wouldn't use this for a unit test. Similarly, you probably wouldn't use this to pinpoint gaps for individual students. But it is helpful in getting a big picture of gaps of knowledge or trends, if that makes sense. This is also isn't the best tool for tracking data over a long period of time - this is a tool for quick assessments or check-ups. That's not a complaint about Kahoot, just an encouragement for you to use it appropriately!

Great for school and workplaces alike

Pros

Very easy to set up and understand for participants no matter the age group. It is possible to customise your quizzes to serve a number of different goals.

Cons

Speaking as a user, there really isn't much to dislike. Educators might want the option to assess / save results and track performance, but there are other tools for that.

Kahoot in a middle school classroom

I am a teacher with no budget, except my own $, and little time to experiment in the school year. I have a tech background of 15 years as a developer, so I can figure things out quickly. When I can't figure them out quickly, I move on. There are a lot of good, free tools out there. My major complaint with Kahoot was the students can't see the questions on their screen, and so they often click on the wrong color when answering. I have a range of cognitive abilities in my public school, and having the question and answers on the screen allows students to stay with the work.

Pros

I liked Kahoot initially because it was a fast-paced way to start class. Students loved the competitive nature of the game and the leaderboard. The music was fun too. It used to be fairly easy to create or find new kahoots to use for math as well.

Cons

My new students who are mostly remote this year had only used kahoot, so that was their favorite game. I went back in to my account and tried to create some new kahoots. Here is what I found difficult: 1. I was bombarded with offers to upgrade. 2. I couldn't use most kahoots in the library because they had features that weren't available to me. 3. It seems whatever I was initially trying to do, I was blocked or invited to upgrade.

Kahoot is amazing

I think Kahoot is a really fun and interactive way to learn and review information. It's easy to use and can be customized for a variety of subjects and topics. The game-like format makes it engaging and competitive, which helps to keep me motivated. I also appreciate that I can create my own Kahoots to share with others. Overall, I highly recommend Kahoot for anyone looking for a fun and effective way to learn and review information.

Pros

The thing I like the most about Kahoot is how easy it is to use it doesn’t take much time to set up a game and it’s also a great app to bond with friends,family, and coworkers. Great way to pass time.

Cons

I don't have anything bad to say about kahoot I really do like everything about it. It’s an amazing app.

Fun way to get people engaged

Overall, I like Kahoot. I used to use it in school a lot.

Pros

This makes it a friendly competition in quizzing people in their knowledge. It makes it easier to get others engaged.

Cons

I wish on the devices it displayed the answers choices instead of colors. The question and answers are only on the big screen.
