Kahoot is a very fun and engaging way for students to show what they know.  All of the students were engaged, but some were so overly excited that I had to work with them on not yelling out answers.  Whole class pacing was good, but I think some students saw that peers were answering the questions faster than them; which caused them to guess and move on.  Many of my 8:1:1 students struggle with decoding.  In addition they need extra time to comprehend the questions and answers.  With this being said in order to avoid them from guessing, I told students they had to hold off from answering the question until I finished reading the question, reading the answers and giving appropriate think time for everyone.  After I was ready, I would tell students they could click and they would select the correct answer.  Overall that strategy seemed to work a little better when trying to assess what the students know.
