Schneiderman_Kahoot

Welcome to Jay Schneiderman's Technology Presentation on Kahoot!



My name is Jay Schneiderman and I have been teaching in the Sheffield\Sheffield Lake City School District since 2008. I have taught 5th grade for the last several years, but for the 2015/2016 school year I am teaching 4th grade math and social studies. This will be my last class in the Instructional Technology program. I guess technology has always been a passion of mine, but I did not realize it until I came across the Akron booth at a technology conference in Columbus 3 years ago. It was there that I decided to pursue my master's degree in instructional technology with the University of Akron. I am excited to finish my degree and use what I have learned from Akron and apply it to my classroom. 

 __Project Description __ Kahoot is a **free ** game-based classroom response system that was first released in 2013. It is easy to set up and even easier for the students to use. Both teachers and students can create an account with Kahoot to create their own quizzes, discussions, and surveys. To play the game, the students do not need a username and a password. They simple enter the game pin number provided by Kahoot as well as a name\nickname to play the game. Since Jessica Sevchek already gave an exemplary presentation about Kahoot, my challenge from Dr. Ward was to focus more on the **why** and less on the how to. Dr. Ward's goal for me was to take it to the next level by presenting information on why we should use Kahoot and how it impacts learning. So that is the task here. Why? Why should we use Kahoot? Isn't that the question we should be asking ourselves anyway when it comes to integrating and implementing technology into the classroom? Are we using it just to use it, or does it actually impact learning and keep the learning moving forward. This presentation will demonstrate why Kahoot should be used in the classroom. There will be 5 presentations to view below

__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">Content Uses __ <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> <span style="color: #a11616; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16.9px;">The great part of Kahoot is that it can be used in any content area including classes like art, P.E. and music. Kahoot can be used as an introduction to a new topic to engage the students in learning. Countless discussion or a survey questions can be used to spark conversation or receive feedback. Quizzes for all subjects can be generated as an assessment tool. Formative assessments can be done where the teacher can provide the students with immediate intervention if needed. Photos and videos can be added to Kahoot for the visual learners. Students can collaborate and create their own quizzes, discussions, or surveys using Kahoot which then can be shared with the teacher. Kahoots can also be used during school meetings and professional development to keep the audience engaged and receive feedback. In addition learning can be taken to the next level by having students create their own quizzes and then share them with the class. Students can also use Kahoot at home as a homework assignment. For example if there was a social studies reading assignment for homework, the students would need to complete a Kahoot that was created to check to see if they read the assignment and to assess their comprehension on the reading. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;">

__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 20px;">Pedagogical Considerations __ <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 18px;">Kahoot has three modes as it relates to pedagogy. They are Discussion, Survey and Quiz mode. Each one of these three has its own purpose. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;">__** Discussion Mode **__ <span style="color: #484848; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 17px;">A Discussion is a single question, without the points. This can be used to ignite discussion, at the beginning of a session. For example, you could ask a question such as 'What is the rule for rounding numbers when deciding to round the number up or keep it the same? This type of question could be done to introduce a new topic which leads to a discussion.

__** Survey Mode **__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #484848; font-family: Lato,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Survey mode also does not use points, but is similar to quiz mode. This mode would be ideal for getting feedback without the competitive part. It could be used like an exit ticket. For example, if you introduced rounding (see Discussion Mode) you could create a survey with questions like; Round 65 to the nearest tens or Round 123 to the nearest one hundreds. This way as a teacher you can quickly find out what the class does and does not know. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> __**<span style="color: #278a30; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5;">Quiz Mode **__ <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #484848; font-family: Lato,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.5;">This is the mode used most frequently in Kahoot. Teachers can use this mode to create quizzes and assessment. When students take a quiz, there are timed responses and the quicker the student answers correctly, the more points they earn. After each question Kahoot will show a leaderboard with the top five leaders in points. On the student devices it will tell them how far behind they are from the leaders. The points and the leaderboard keeps the students engaged and motivated because it creates a friendly competition. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> __**<span style="color: #278a30; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Ghost Mode **__ Ghost mode is an option to play the same Kahoot again to reinforce learning through repitition. The students are competing against themselves for a better score while still competing against the rest of the class. The objective is to beat your previous score with by answering quickly and correctly. __**<span style="color: #278a30; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Results **__ <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 18px;">The results can be downloaded or saved to your Google Drive if you have one. After saving the scores you can go to the folder where you saved the results. This is an important step in the learning process. Analyzing the data will allow you to know who knows the content and who still needs further help. Interpreting the data will help you understand who still needs more help learning the topic. You will be able to identify the students who know the topic and those who might need to be re-taught. You can form small groups to provide intervention or enrichment. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> __**<span style="color: #278a30; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">Student Created Kahoots **__ <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 18px;">Students can also create their own accounts with Kahoot. Once they have their account, they are able to make their own Kahoot and share it with the teacher. Students 16 or under can not share their Kahoot publically or search for public Kahoots, thus creating a safer environment for the students. When students create their own Kahoot, they are using higher level thinking. Kahoot describes it as taking students from Learners to Leaders. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: left;"><span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 18.2px;">[|Kahoot Pedagogy]
