Recently, I demonstrated this new website in our college classroom. After I worked out some errors on my end, it worked very well. I did not realize that everyone had to enter the same access code when entering the quiz. Once we solved that issue, things ran smoothly. The website is user friendly. I loved how easy it was to add graphics to the quiz. The graphics made the quiz more engaging. If you know your material, it will not take long to create the quiz. The best part is that the teacher gets immediate feedback whether students understood the material that was taught. It provides the teacher the opportunity to reteach any material the students may not have understood right after the quiz. I believe that this is the most important feature of the website. The website also shares other quizzes that have been created. You can search for quizzes that other people have made and use them in your classroom too. What a time saver!!
The best part was that our quiz was featured on their website. I got an email from the co-founder and lead designer of the website informing us of this. So exciting! He also shared with us the idea of having the students create the quizzes to check for understanding. Great idea!
Becky,
ReplyDeleteI loved the Kahoot Quiz! It was such a great way of engaging the whole class in an activity that also served as assessment. I thought it was funny that once everyone in class figured out what was going on with the website we all wanted to go back and try the quiz again. Thank you for taking the time to create the quiz, and teach us about this website. I would never have known about it had you not shared it with the class!
