Technology lesson - Kahoot!

Technology Lesson - Kahoot!


Technology lesson using Kahoot!

I used Kahoot! to assess student’s knowledge of letter recognition.  I incorporated multiple choice questions as well as true or false questions.  Kahoot! provides students with an engaging lesson to be competitive with their peers as well as show their knowledge of the objective at hand.  Kahoot! offers several ways to assess students through different types of questions such as true or false, fill in the blank, polling, and several others.  There is a time limit on each question that makes students think quickly as well as keep them engaged in the lesson.  Teachers must stress that while students need to answer the questions in a timely manner the most important objective to this lesson is to answer questions correctly.  I believe Kahoot! is a great way to keep students interested in the lesson rather than listening to a lecture for a long period of time.  I have never used Kahoot! before, but I like the game style to this learning platform that provides a fun and positive learning environment for students.  It also allows for teachers to get immediate feedback on how their students are doing and assess students where they are currently to see if there are any areas that may need more attention.
