Kahoot! Reviews

Pros

For getting students involved I'd say Kahoot is a phenomenal tool to use. As it makes picking up new information feel like a game.

Cons

I am a huge fan of it and really cannot think of anything I didn't enjoy about it.

Pros

The live, updating scoreboard is what really pulls people in. It makes each person want to participate more actively and that energy encourages others to jump in making learning a fun, shared experience.

Cons

As per me the part that can lower motivation is when someone who's consistently at the bottom of the scoreboard stops trying to participate more actively.

Pros

I love seeing how eagerly and actively everyone gets into the game. It is a brilliant setup that taps into peoples competitive nature while still helping them remember important facts.

Cons

There could be more ways to customize the experience or introduce new game formats to test knowledge. Using the same quiz style repeatedly can start to feel a little stale over time.

Pros

It is so easy to use plus we get to see everyones answers live and watch the scoreboard change as we play.

Cons

I noticed that it is vulnerable to hackers. There are even websites that let people flood a Kahoot session with fake players which can completely disrupt the game and break the systems integrity.
