I created a Kahoot yesterday to administer to my class today. We finished up our second unit focusing on the constant of proportionality. I created a 15 question Kahoot that covered the standards for this unit. I chose today to use it because their test is tomorrow, so this would be good review. Creating the questions was slightly more time intensive than I thought. For this unit specifically, a graph or table was required for most questions. I had to find these images on Google to insert into the Kahoot and create a question around an already-created table/graph. Going forward, I am going to use the feature to use and edit already created Kahoots to save time.
The students were very excited to be trying something new to review. Getting the students logged in took less time than I thought since most of them have used this before. Once the game started the students got loud. I had to stop half way through because their excitement was taking away from the learning. Once I had a conversation with them about self-control, they were able to get back on track and finish the Kahoot. I will use Kahoot in the future, but will make sure to give explicit instructions about behavior before.
