KAHOOT - It's a Hoot!

On my nightly browse through Twitter, I was excited to find a link to a game-based response system called Kahoot.  This website is so easy to navigate and use in the classroom - I set up my first quiz in 10 minutes flat!
To begin, you need to set up a free account which asks for the usual contact details.  Once logged in there is a quick tutorial which outlines the basic features of the site.  Then, it's up to you to explore the public quizzes or create your own.

To create a quiz, select the ? icon.  Simply give the quiz a title and then type in the questions and responses, selecting the correct answer. You have the option to upload a picture if you want, change the number of responses to choose from and allocate points for correct answers.  Once all questions have been created, click on Next: Settings in the bottom right hand corner.  You will then be prompted to complete the administrative side of the quiz.  When it is complete it is saved into your file (me).

To play, select the quiz you want the students to complete and press play, then launch.  A screen will appear prompting you to connect mobile devices for the students to answer the quiz at Kahoot.it.

Follow the prompts and the devices connect easily.  Then select start now.  The number that is displayed must be typed into the mobile devices and then select play. The students then answer the questions using their mobile device.

Enjoy!
