Do You Kahoot!?




What Is Kahoot?

Kahoot! Is a free game-based student response system. Students and teachers can use ANY web-enabled device, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and all smartphones, with this web-based service. Add videos, images, and diagrams to your questions to amplify engagement.

Students DO NOT need an account to use Kahoot! No usernames or passwords to forget!

All results can be emailed or downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet or saved to Google Drive.

Take it to the next level by having students create their own questions and/or Kahoot! games for review.  Social learning promotes discussion and pedagogical impact.
