Kahoot! in the classroom
Today, our focus will be on the excellent learning and review resource, Kahoot! Gone are the days of boring powerpoint style Jeopardy, and long hours spent painstakingly crafting review worksheets that bore students and leave you with extra work. Kahoot! is a learning and review tool for the classroom that is fun, memorable, and engaging for all students. I chose to focus on this tool because I have experience with it both as a student and a teacher, and can vouch for its ease of use on both sides of things. Kahoot! is an excellent tool that everyone should know about, and leaves students eager for activities in the classroom.

Kahoot! is an awesome resource that can be used in virtually any classroom to check for understanding of taught material. This can be utilized for full unit review, or even to check the understanding of your students after a single lesson. There is no limit to what Kahoot! can be used for. Not only that; some Kahoots have been created already, and are available for teacher use. The blog post linked HERE focuses on Kahoots already created for the math classroom, and then guides readers through another Kahoot! creation tutorial.

I like the idea of using this as a way to check for understanding--some of this week's reading about evidence based practice was really eye-opening and I love this as a potential exit poll or focus group activity. Definitely more fun than sticky notes or a Google Form. Great post!
