KAHOOT! Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform, used as educational technology in schools and other

educational institutions. Its learning games, "Kahoots", are multiple-choice quizzes that allow user

generation and can be accessed via a web browser.

Kahoot! can be used to review students' knowledge, for formative assessment, or as a break from

traditional classroom activities. Kahoot! also includes trivia quizzes.

Kahoot! was designed for social learning, with learners gathered around a common screen such as

an interactive whiteboard, projector or a computer monitor. The site can also be used through

screen-sharing tools. The game design is such that the players are required to frequently look up

from their devices. The gameplay is simple; all players connect using a generated game PIN shown

on the common screen , and use a device to answer questions created by a teacher, business leader,

or other person. These questions can be changed to award points. Points then show up on the

leaderboard after each question.

POSSIBLE PRACTISES OF KAHOOT WHEN

I use Kahoot as revising the topics after teaching my lesson.

about the topic on Kahoot. I want them to send me the links and I grade them

from this.

Especially after lessons, each student wants me to open Kahoot that they

prepared do it increases their interest in lessons.
