Thanksgiving and Kahoot!

From this morning’s mail:

Kathy James shared this: “Kahoot has a cute Thanksgiving Day game set up.... we played it yesterday.... kids got a laugh and kept fact checking. The answers were right but surprising.”  This might be something you can use next week- access Kahoot and you will find several games.

Kahoot! goes (went) team

Using Kahoot while students are sharing devices?  You might want to try their team mode.  Please see the post here from Richard Byrne for a quick overview.  Just select the team option!

Another quiz review game- but with a twist

When I first saw Triventy, it reminded me of Kahoot! The students join with a game pin, the questions and answers are displayed, and it will generate a leaderboard.  But then it reminded me of Quizizz since the questions and answers also appear on the student device and you can share Triventy via Google Classroom.

It does not seem to have the tracking ability (found both in Kahoot! And Quizizz)- I could only find a leaderboard at the end of the game. So if you are looking for data on a question by question basis- this is not the game for you.

But what is does have is the ability to have your students collaborate with you in creating the questions.  You can share the link a variety of ways (including Google Classroom) and you moderator all questions before they go live.

Rather than use this as a formative assessment, Triventy would be good as a review.

Kahoot or Quizizz or Socrative?

Which one do you use? Amy Roediger posted a nice comparison on her blog ( A Lever and a Place to Stand.)  She outlines Kahoot!, Quizziz, and Socrative and shares her information in a side by side comparison table.  I haven’t tried Quizziz  yet- anyone have any feedback?  Please click here to read the complete post.

Kahootapalooza!

Pam Gunter, Arleth librarian,shared her creative Kahoot strategy from last June.

“I wanted to let you know that we needed to come up with an assembly idea for the last week of school so we did a Kahootapalooza! We had two grades per assembly so I found appropriate trivia quizzes. We sat the kids in ten columns behind either a number or letter sign and gave each column an iPad. The kids took turns answering questions then passing the iPad down the row. It was a huge hit! ”
