Formative assessment is a big topic around here and a focus this year, so this blog post will focus on another formative assessment tool called Kahoot. Kahoot is a student response system that allows teachers to create pre-made quizzes, discussions, and surveys, which can then be done interactively in class. The site adds a game-like quality to the formative assessment, making more fun and interactive for students.
Teachers can create their own Kahoots (quizzes, discussions, or surveys) or use ones other teachers have created and made public. After completing the activity teachers can receive a summary report that provides information about each student and the class as a whole, including a breakdown by question on how the students did during the activity. This can help teachers evaluate later individual students who may need more attention, or topics that they may need to reteach.
See the videos below for more information on using Kahoot!
