Kahoot

My first time using Kahoot

I logged on to the Kahoot website, signed up and went through the process of creating an account.   I used my google email address as this is memorable.

I found the layout of Kahoot very simple and easy to understand so on the back of that it made my resources simple, when I knew what question I wished to raise.   I created two different Kahoot games for my two very different classes that I teach. 

One class is an 18+ level 3 Beauty Therapy Class. My other class being a pre 16 level 1 Beauty Therapy Class. 

The outcome from both classes were the same, the learners really engaged in the activity, they engaged in the competition side of the activity and how modern the activity was.  It really helps when Kahoot shows the leader learner after every question and this motivates the learners. 

Kahoot shows how many learners got the questions right and wrong collectively after each question, this approach does not cause embarrassment and encourages learners to carry on participating.  This approach helps me as a teacher understand what the learners are struggling with and how many learners in the class are struggling.  Access to this information helps me create targeted lessons to help and teach learners put right the information they are getting wrong.

This resource is one that I would definitely use again, it helps me check learners knowledge on topics and brings fun to learning.
