participate in the Kahoot!. All students are presented with the questions at the same

Students use this tool to participate in quizzes, surveys, or discussions.
A big advantage of this is that students really enjoy participating in online activities
where they can get immediate feedback on their answers. In the quiz mode of Kahoot! it
tells students every question if they were right or wrong and gives points based on how
fast they answered and if they answered correctly. This game is also competitive which
motivates students to know the information so they can do their best. As I said before, it
also allows for quick grading and good quick feedback. The teacher is able to
immediately see how many people got each question right or wrong and what wrong
answers students chose. This can allow for teachers to quickly reteach any information
that the majority of the class is confused about. It is really an engaging resource that
benefits student learning and teacher effectiveness.
