Kahoot!: Have Fun & Learn!

In our Digital Literacy class we have been preparing a Didactic Unit, I might talk about it again in other posts, but now I want to share with you one resource I have found, which can be useful for your lessons.

First of all, this is a fun game that can be used in a lesson to do a little assessment. This is Kahoot!, a site where you can create your own learning game, made from a series of multiple choice questions and add images, videos or diagrams to your questions. Later, the players must copy an easy code to play all together, so it is completely free and no accounts are required. While the questions are displayed on a shared screen to unite the lesson and encourage players, they answer on their own devices, so that they can be in the same room or on the other side of the globe! There is then a top 5 classification between them, which could seem a little too competitive, but the truth is that social learning promotes discussion and has a positive pedagogical impact!

This is what you'll see when, as a player, you go to Kahoot!

As a participant you can also find Kahoots created by others, however, if you are worried about what a child might find, you can set them up so that their account doesn't allow them to post their content publicly, or browse public content created by others. To choose this secure option, when they sign in they must select "I'm a student 16 or under".

If you have any other doubt here is the FAQ site of Kahoot.

I hope you enjoy this game! And I will keep posting interesting resources of my Didactic Unit!
