Technology in Transit is a monthly event organized by Educational Technology Support (ETS) office for students in the Faculty of Education to showcase their learning technologies. The purpose of this one-hour session is to raise awareness of different technologies and to show how to incorporate them into classrooms.
For the month of October, Jenny introduced Kahoot! Kahoot! is a multi-platform tool that you can use to administer quizzes, discussions or surveys. You can download Kahoot! on the Apple Store or the Google Play Store.
Kahoot! gets students engaged by turning learning into a game. There are 4 ways to create a Kahoot! game:
- Quiz
A multiple-choice question style, allowing you to assign right/wrong answers and turning points on/off. - Survey
Alike a quiz, but without right/wrong answers. There is no point system or scoreboards; however, you will see a graph showing how many students chose each answer. - Discussion
You can facilitate a quick discussion by using the discussion tool. This is alike the survey tool, but with only one question. - Jumble
This kahoot is like a quiz, but challenges your students to put answers in the correct order rather than selecting one correct answer.
