Kahoot is a well-known online platform that allows very easily create interactive quizzes for your students, for your students or for any type of learner. If you want to create a live quiz and offer it in the form of a game to your students, Kahoot is undoubtedly a good option.
Like other tools for creating live quizzes, Kahoot is based on a fairly simple principle. You create a quiz with a series of questions and for each of four possible answers. All participants play at the same time and live, each equipped with a computer, tablet or smartphone while the questions are displayed on the screen in the room.
You can set the response time and participants can see the results live to see the ranking evolution in real time. Atmosphere guaranteed.
Kahoot makes it very easy to create quizzes
The use of Kahoot is child’s play. The application is a model of ergonomics and the handling is really intuitive. You can create two types of games.
- A classic quiz that proposes to choose a good answer among several proposals.
- A more original game called ‘Jumble’ that will challenge your students to put the elements of an answer in the right order.
You can settle for questions in the form of texts, but you can also associate sounds or images with them. Note that you also have access to thousands of quiz for the class created by other Kahoot users. You can use them as they are or modify them as you see fit.
Simple and fast on-going use
A video projector and connected computers, tablets and smartphones are the necessary equipment to use Kahoot! It’s not nothing, but you can also form teams if the equipment is missing. It can even add an additional interest to make your students think as a team.
Access to your quiz on Kahoot does not require your students to create an account. All they have to do is go to the application and enter a PIN code that will be provided to you by the site when you create your quiz. They will simply be asked for their first name or the name of their team to display the results.
Kahoot actually suffers from only a small flaw: its interface is in English. Basic English and you are helped with large coloured icons that are simple to interpret but we would love to have a version in French.
Meanwhile, Kahoot is a real success.
Whether it’s checking your students’ achievements, punctuating learning phases or injecting gamification into your classes, Kahoot remains a good option.
The use of Kahoot! is free of charge for its basic functions. A premium version at EUR 1 per month offers interesting additional functions if you come to use the tool with a certain regularity.
