Game Based Learning
During a webinar from http://home.edweb.net/ , one of the other
participants told me about a game-based platform that I can use in my classroom
for quizzes, surveys and discussions. I started to test it out today and am
getting excited about how I can use the website https://getkahoot.com/.
Here are two ideas so far:
1) When I create a pretest for a
unit, I can have the students answer the questions on their worksheets first.
Then, they can complete the Kahoot quiz as a group. I can formatively assess
and check their answers all at once, rather than individually, saving me time!
Plus, they will have fun because it is a game.
2) I can set up a Kahoot quiz for a
math station. Students who have completed a portion of the learning program I
have set up, can sit in a small group and complete a Kahoot. Then I can check
in with their progress and discuss any questions they might have.
I am looking forward to exploring
this website even more!
