Overall Experience:
The overall experience was great. The students really enjoyed competing with each other and it was fun to see which ones were on the podium.
Engagement:
All the students were engaged. They could see real time how they were doing. I offered extra credit to the top 10 students. This really seemed to motivate them.
Whole class pacing:
I had each question timed at 30 seconds. I changed this for the other classes and some of the questions I put at only 20 seconds. They didn't seem to need all the time with easier questions. The entire Kahoot activity took about 5 minutes at the beginning of class to get them engaged and review the previous day's lesson.
What might you do differently next time:
I changed to time on some of the questions to shorten them. I might also add a couple more question types. I only focused on multiple choice and true false questions. I want to add a few more images to some of the questions to enhance them.
