Digital Tools Really Do Make Learning Exciting and Fun!

 

 What a great way to energize learners about reinforcement of content integrating technology!

This is such a fun, interactive, and yes, easy way to use digital tools with classroom learning.

Here are the "easy-peasy" directions just for you:

1. Go to GetKahoot.com

2. Set your free account--quick and easy

3. You have the option to create your own, but, hey why reinvent the wheel when you are just beginning?  Choose Public where there are hundreds of already created listed by content area "games."

4. Choose to play music before the game begins--creates excitement among your students:)

5. Have students use their iPads or iPhones (if allowable) and go to Kahoot.it .

6. You will have a pin number to share with your learners and they will need to enter that here.

7. When they do, their name with their device image will appear on your SmartBoard or regular Projector Screen. 

8. Begin:  Students will be offered a question and they choose their answer. It is that simple.

9. At the end of each question, students will know if their answers were correct.

10. As the teacher, you have many choices as you learn how to use this great tool: you can send your student scores to you for your gradebook, you can upload classes, and many other choices.

Special note: Students love to hear the Kahoot music playing and see the bright colors on the teacher's screen as they enter the classroom!
Several of my teachers that have tried it just once have immediately seen the popularity it has with students immediately and really like using it with their classes. I am sure you will, too.
