- finding out what students know about a new unit.
- students creating kahoots for the class to play as they are learning a new unit. This is a very useful collaborative task.
- revision tools to recall knowledge towards the end of a unit.
- having class discussions - often teachers use kahoot as a straight quiz, however it can be a great way to spark some discussion amongst your students and share knowledge. So after a question, have a discussion, or provide some further information about that particular question or point.

Hot on the heels of Quizlet adding a team mode, Kahoot has now done the same (or vice versa, not sure who did it first!!). Anyway, for information on the benefits of this kind of learning, please see this previous post on Quizlet as all the benefits are the same!!
This excert is from Free Technology for Teachers by Richard Byrne. "This week Kahoot, the wildly popular quiz game platform, released a new team mode. The new team mode is designed to be used with students who are sharing computers, tablets, or phones. In team mode students arrange themselves in teams around a shared computer or tablet. When you start a Kahoot game you'll now choose "team mode." With team mode selected your students will be prompted to enter a team name and a list of the team members. After the teams have entered their names you will be ready to start the game. One of the nice features of team mode is that students have time to discuss their answer choices before they are allowed to submit a response. From there the game is played and scored as any other Kahoot game is." This is particularly useful this year before BYOD is whole school as it doesn't require all students to have devices! |
