Feedback from faculty

I have used it in the past for my face-to-face courses in 3 ways:
1) as an informal pre-assessment of key terms/concepts related to something I am about to cover in class
2) as an interactive review and formative assessment of previously covered course concepts
3) for students to create their own Kahoots in groups to present/quiz the rest of the class related to something they were assigned to read outside of class or to reinforce information taught in class. 

I just used it for the first time in this virtual learning modality and it went well. I used it to review material covered earlier in the semester and then put students in groups to create their own to quiz the rest of the class on their designated topics. 

Once you create the Kahoot, participants join by either using the Kahoot app (if they have it) or by going to www.kahoot.it and then by entering a game pin to join on their handheld devices. It was easy and the students seemed to enjoy it.
