Kahoot! : A Game-Based Learning Platform 🎮

The idea of bringing games into the classroom environment is always fun and appealing for students. So, the online tool that I will introduce you to today is called "Kahoot!". Kahoot is basically a game-based learning and trivia platform. Teachers can create and deliver different online quizzes for students. The quizzes that teachers created can be accessed by students through mobile or computer devices. Also, teachers can set some time limit for answering each question. Kahoot is a very simple easy to use platform. So, you can quickly begin creating games on Kahoot website by following the step by step instructions that Kahoot provides. 

I think one of the great things about Kahoot that it does not require students to open an account to join games. The only thing students need to do is going to Kahoot.it through their mobile phones and then entering the game PIN that teachers gave them.

Teachers can use Kahoot to assign homework rather than only giving workbook assignments, I think Kahoot is also a great tool to revise some content or topic that was covered in the lesson, and also it can be helpful to assess students' comprehension of a specific topic.

I think Kahoot can help the learning process become more interactive and interesting by reducing monotony and boredom because it is an energetic and motivating platform with lots of visuals, colors, etc. So, it can create a positive learning environment for students. There are many positive sides of using Kahoot but I think one of the biggest disadvantages can be about having a strong Internet (WiFi) connection, and since multiple players are supposed to connect to the same platform, sometimes that can be an issue. 

I had a chance to experience Kahoot by creating my own short quiz game about Linguistics terminology! Here is the link to check out my Kahoot game. It would be great to share your ideas with me if you have a chance to play it!

Have a wonderful day ♡
