The "Kahoot" quiz, a technology based review, I'm going to share is extremely interactive and engaging while still heavily monitored and run by the teacher! Pictured below are some snapshots from the site as well as a few notes. The thought bubbles will explain the teacher side of the site (orange frames) and the student side of the site (purple frames.) I've also included some ideas on how to smoothly run this in a classroom...they are listed below the pictures!
Ideas...
- If available, each student could have their own device. However, for larger classes giving one Chromebook, I pad, etc per group works just as well!
- Instead of having students choose a Username, have them type in their computer number or their student number. This controls goofy/inappropriate usernames to be displayed as well as confidentiality. Group numbers or names would be another idea!
- When the "Score" screen comes up, cover the projector. This may seem silly, but the scores are displayed after EVERY question. When students see that they aren't in the top scores displayed they quit trying. Keep everyone engaged and display the score at the END of the review!
- There will be some goof balls in the class who will purposely answer incorrectly to see the graphs change on the data. In order to stop this I made sure that if the question had any incorrect responses displayed in the data we had to pause and have a discussion about why "such and such" wasn't the correct answer. I also tallied how many times the class answered 100% correct and matched it with an incentive.
- MAKE A PRACTICE QUIZ FIRST...or at least a few practice questions! Having the students, and yourself, learn to maneuver through the site is a bit tricky at first. But after a couple of questions they really get the hang of it!
