This review is part of a series of assignments submitted for the graduate level course EDUC 5255: Digital Literacies and New Media in Spring 2020. The authors are M.A. students in Literacy Education at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Each author reviewed a digital tool or application they use in K-12 settings.

Kahoot! (website + app) is an interactive learning platform in which students, teachers, and others can create, share, or play learning games and quizzes. It is available in every subject, language, and on any device. You can play the game or quiz live with the questions on the big screen or on a personal device with the questions on your individual screen. This allows for collaboration between students or a self-paced individual experience. With a classroom of diverse learners it is important to have these options of play because one may support others better than the other. The app puts students on a leaderboard as they answer each question. Kahoot! is used around the world at schools, companies, and events. In the classroom Kahoot! serves as an engaging tool in many ways such as content review, skill practice, formative assessments, etc. Kahoot! seems to be appropriate for all ages as it is advertised on their website to schools, homes, and businesses. CommonSense.org suggests that in the education world it is most appropriate for Grades 3-12.
Kahoot! has 5 levels of pricing ranging from $0 for the free version and $720 annually for the premium plus version. Here is an outline of what you can expect at each price level including the features from the lower level.
Below are two screenshots of first a quiz I created followed by a quiz that another teacher created. Both quizzes are on the Kahoot! discover page and can be used by anyone with an account. The questions, answers, and pictures are customizable by the creator of the quiz.
I chose to review Kahoot! for my digital tool project because as an educator I am constantly looking to create an engaging environment for my students. Any way that I can teach the content in a new, exciting, interactive way I do so that I can expose my students to a variety of skills and ways of learning. Kahoot! is used by several other teachers at my school and it is highly recommended especially as a review activity. My students have used this in the classroom before but I wanted to explore the different features and everything the tool had to offer. I also wanted to share this with teachers in our classroom because I think this is something that is applicable to a wide range of grade levels and subjects.
There are many pros to using Kahoot! The major benefit of using Kahoot! is increased student engagement. It is easy to use with a simple game pin to login and then only four consistent choices for answering. Also, this tool allows for instant feedback after each question helping to guide students and provide information to teachers. The option of collaborative competitive mode and self-paced mode is another important pro that is being cognizant of the diverse learners in the classroom.
There are also some cons to using this tool that should be acknowledged. Students have the freedom to choose their own username which could take time, they may use something too silly, or it may cause some disagreement between partners. Also, to my knowledge, there is no option to have the questions read aloud to the students so the teachers have to do it. On the collaborative competitive mode the students are unable to see their questions or answer choices on their screen, they can only see the shapes that are correlated to which answer they choose.
Quizziz is a similar app in which students can engage in a learning game or quiz. However, the questions and answers are displayed on individual devices whereas they are not always in Kahoot! The quizzes are self-paced rather than waiting for other classmates to complete a question. Just like Kahoot!, teachers can still display a leaderboard to monitor student progress throughout the quiz.
