BEED 3-A

ACTIVITY 3:
Direction: in relevance to activity 2, write a summary of description on why you have chosen that
technology tool for collaborative work.

Guidelines:

1. Your summary of description must be in an informative essay.

I chose kahoot because, as we all know, we are now living in the twenty-first century, and we
are in the midst of a pandemic in which online classes and modular learning is our new way of
learning, and it has become enjoyable with the help of many exciting tools and applications
available in this virtual world. One of them is Kahoot. It's an app that allows you to learn
through fun games, quizzes, and other activities. Within minutes, quizzes can be made and
shared. It is very simple to organize quizzes and games through this platform.

2. Write also your reflection about it and entertain the reader on why that particular technology
tool that you have chosen is best suit for elementary students.
Kahoot is one of the best technology tool for collaborative work in elementary grades because
kahoot is a tool that motivates and activates pupils' learning because it can test their
knowledge, reiterate important concepts, and help them retain information. It also provides
instructors with the ability to further create class discussion and student-to- student
interaction. Just like for instance in teaching mathematics in elementary pupils which is to
identify the different geometric shapes, in using this collaborative tool you may show students
different geometric shapes (triangle, circle, rectangle, eclipse, cube, pentagon, cone,
parallelogram, hexagon, octagon, trapezoid, rhombus, etc.). Choose which shapes and how
many to focus on based on your pupils’ levels. Other slides can focus on the attributes of
geometric shapes, such as the number of sides each has, whether sides are equal or parallel,
and the degree of each shape’s angles. Between slides you can incorporate polling questions
to make sure that students are keeping up with the lesson, or use word cloud questions so
you can capture students’ thoughts about the topic. After the students have gone through the
Kahoot! lesson, you can provide them with the opportunity to create their own kahoots on
geometric shapes. Kahoot! calls this “Learners to Leaders” pedagogy and it’s a great way for
students to demonstrate their learning in an exciting way with their peers. If you are
using Google Classroom(opens in new tab), students can use their accounts to log into Kahoot!
to make their own kahoots. If not, students can sign-up for a free basic account.
