Post #12: Kahoot

 In this post I will be discussing Kahoot, a technology listed in many slides, in Dr. Wang's powerpoint. Please use the link below to visit the website.

       The first time I had participated in Kahoot was when I came to Spokane my sophomore year of high school. It was typically used as a brain break towards the end of class, and would be about disney, or any topics we chose. Then some teachers started using it as a review game for upcoming assessments. 

        Now going to the website it seems that there are a lot of different ways and usage for this website. I was only ever on the student side when using kahoot, so I didn't realize you could log on and create your own.

It creates a great engaging opportunity for all classes and grades. I could only see it being used for prep of assessments or for a quick assessment.

I believe this is the website my dad had to use when completing college courses online through the Army. It has your course and ways to sort/filter through them. It has Calendar, Messages, Grades, and a tab for assistance for your use. I played around with all the different tabs, but you also can learn through tutorials. In the grading tab its visually pleasing being organized by the class, then by the assignment. With each showing how many have submitted and have not.           It seems to have generated a fake class for me to try out in the free trial. In the grading tab it even had a spot labeled originality for their posts. Some students have a green check, others have an orange dash, and one student has a red x. I clicked on this stu...
