What is Kahoot?



What is Kahoot?
Kahoot is a game-based classroom response system that allows students to respond from the web on any electronic device that has Internet access. Teachers can ask thought provoking questions which motivate participation through game-based learning and rewards in a social setting. Your Kahoot questions can include pictures and videos. As the teacher you can control the pace of the Kahoot quiz or survey by imposing a time limit for each question. As students answer questions they are awarded points for correct answers and the timeliness of their answers. A scoreboard is displayed on the teacher's screen.
