What a fun tool.Teachers can create a quiz, survey or discussion OR use any of the thousands that are there by other users.  I showed this at a faculty meeting and many loved it.  We'll see how many come to a "training" after school

Kahoot Blog for ideas
Here is a much better blog than mine!

My 2cents is....
  • Make it fun.  Kids have enough serious things to do with computers.  A review before a quiz, a game at the start of class, a pre-test to see what they already know about something.
  • After you "duplicate" someone else's Kahoot, you MUST preview or edit it before you can show it.  It is not an option.  This is a great idea to force teachers to actually go through some one else's work and edit it as needed.
  • As the students pick a nickname be aware of what they chose or have some requirements/guidelines.
  • Be careful of "requiring" or giving "grades" on this.  Not everyone will always have a device to use and technological issues always occur.  There is downloadable spreadsheet of scores you can access if you want another thing to keep track of.
  • Set it on autoplay (under Advanced options) to move the game along and you can then wander about the room checking up on them.  But maybe not a good idea if you are requiring or grading this!
  • Even if a few kids who don't have a device or do not want to participate, they still get to see the information/content you are presenting.  

    Enjoy and comment...
