I created a short quiz using Kahoot for my class on educational technology.
What worked?
How did interactions within your PLN (including the class) inform your thinking and design process?
In what other ways could this tool be used? How might you go higher on Bloom's? I'm very excited to try "Blind" Kahoot. getkahoot.com/blog/the-art-of-blind-kahoot-ing I think this model could help move away from remembering and understanding (or worse multiple choice guessing) and higher on Bloom's. I like the idea of introducing content in small doses after each question. I think this is the way many people learn - a little at a time - not big buckets of information all at once. Better yet, the new info can be elicited from students each time a question goes deeper allowing them to constantly reinforce and apply what they've learned to tackle new problems. I think Kahoot has a lot of potential for jigsaw activities - when one or two students have information about part of a topic. The time after answering can be used for these students to share their knowledge after suspense is built around the answer to the question. When students are sharing their knowledge with others, this lands higher on Bloom's than simple review (revision as the Brits say). As an aside, another use of Kahoot might be in an ESOL class, particularly because you can embed pictures. A first day activity is often "Find someone who ... (went to France this summer, has a bulldog etc. etc.") This is usually done with name tags. Students could guess which classmate fits which description and then the student in question could introduce themselves with the fun fact. This format might take some of the tedium and repetition out of "getting to know you" activities at the beginning of the year but still get the job done (students will know names of their classmates and some trivia about each other after the activity).
