Kahoot for Competitive Quizzes

I really enjoy the way the Internet works.  I just finished watching a movie with my girls and now that they are headed to bed, I just checked Twitter and found a new follower on my account by named Mr Koz who in turn led me to Glenn Wiebe both of whom had posted on Kahoot.  That made me wonder if Richard Byrne had posted on it and sure enough he just did a few days ago.

So what is Kahoot.  It is a bit like PollEverywhere which I have posted on in the past which lets you put up questions in front of your classroom using your LCD and your students can answer quick review questions using any Internet connected device.

• The difference here is that students compete against others in the classroom
• they can use any name they want 
• do not have to give anything other than that) 
• you can take other people's quizzes and use them as well.  
• you can set a timer

So for example here is one on

• Greece and Rome
• The Progressive Era
• Nigeria (we are starting this in AP Comp on Thursday)
• Inflation

Now it is looking less like I will have school in person on Tuesday so I am thinking that I might use Kahoot in my AP Comparative's online classroom (yes we meet on snow days) to see if my students have done their work.
