What is Kahoot!? Kahoot! is a fun learning game made with a series of multiple choice questions that may contain images, videos and diagrams. It works on any device with an Internet connection. The teacher displays a question and possible responses via a computer connected to a projector or other large screen display. Students respond to the questions on their own devices by tapping or clicking the shape that matches the correct answer. Correct responses and speed result in the points awarded to each player. A leaderboard is displayed after each question. Once students play a game, the teacher can launch it in Ghost Mode and students can complete against their own previous scores. At the end of each session the teacher can download a spreadsheet of data about student responses. Kahoot! is a very fun way to check for student understandings!
