Intro to Kahoot!
Students sign in using the web address https://kahoot.it to access the platform.
Kahoot can be used with smart phones, tablets, or laptop computers. Students can chose one device per person or select team mode to use one device per team. All they must do once they access the web address is enter the game pin displayed on the instructor’s screen. Students do not need to register for an account or download an application, which can waste time and further complicate the use of technology. All of this makes the set up time and process easy and efficient; both important considerations for classroom instructional use. Generally, we use Kahoot! as a supplemental teaching tool in classes no larger than 30 students, approximately once a week, and for about 15 minutes. Kahoot! can be played by over 4,000 players at a time, however, the company recommends instructors contact its support team for advice if they plan to use it with more than 1,000 participants .
