Kahoot - Mobile Learning Game

[ItsBrian]

“Kahoot! is a game-based learningplatform, used as educational technology in classrooms and other learning institutions. Launched in August 2013 in Norway,^[1] Kahoot! is played by millions of people in 100 countries.^[2] Its learning games ("kahoots") are multiple-choice quizzes that can be created by anyone and are not restricted as to age level or subject matter. Kahoot! can be played using any mobile device, desktop or laptop with an internet connection and web browser”

 

Many schools use this, and I decided to try it out to help them retain/learn first aid while having fun and not sitting there listening to someone talk.

 

Basically someone has the main laptop where they show the laptop to the players which reads the question and multiple choice answers off the main laptop and has a x amount of time to answer on their phone/laptop.

 Completely free, and easy to use. Team mode is also available.

Multiple choice tests are easy to correct, but IMHO are poor for learning evaluation.

It’s not a learning evaluation, it’s not used as a test, it’s more like a study game teachers use to reinforce it.
