Get started
Kahoot is a simple and intuitive tool. It is easy to be registered and it is free to use. Go to getkahoot.com and sign in. Get registered with your personal profile.
When you log in to Kahoot, you have three options: create a quiz, a discussion or a survey. Quiz is the most used feature, where the students get points for right answers. The survey is similar to the quiz, but you do not get points for right answers. There is therefore no right and wrong answers. The discussion option contains just one question and does not give points. Discussions are often useful way to warm up the class and start the conversation.
It might be useful to present your first test to colleagues or your family to get feedback before you present it in the classroom. Making a Kahoot is simple. Just type in the question and answer options and set the time limit if desired. If you should need any help or ideas, please contact BI LearningLab.
