Educational tools: KAHOOT TOOL

EDUCATIONAL TOOLS

In the Education we have many tools to integrate inside the classroom and today I'm going to talk about an important tool using technology.

KAHOOT

It is a very useful tool for teachers and students to learn and review concepts in an entertaining way, as if it were a contest. The most common way is through test questions, although there is also room for discussion and debate.

What is Kahoot!

Kahoot! is the name given to this web service of social and gamified education, that is, it behaves like a game, rewarding those who progress in the answers with a higher score that catapults them to the top of the ranking.

Añadir leyenda

Anyone can create a game board, here called "a Kahoot!" so that, if you want, you can create a test on the types of triangles, the different celestial bodies or on the rules of circulation. There are no limitations as long as you fit into one of the four types of applications available today.

Purpose

Kahoot! It has been designed for educational purposes in mind, although it could perfectly be used simply for entertainment. The idea is the same one we've heard so many times: learning to have fun.

It is however more a tool of reinforcement, because the nature of the questions are too short to go into too much detail. Here the good thing is that the teacher - or the one who is controlling the game - can control precisely when the next question is passed, so that he can pause to add the necessary explanations.

How to play a Kahoot!

First of all, the teacher or moderator must open the Kahoot! on a computer. It is simply a web page that is accessed through a link. If you have created the Kahoot! yourself, you can simply go to your Kahoot list! created and play in Play it.
