\u00a0Well, last night my students were assigned to read a chapter in our textbook, and they had to create 5 quiz questions and answers. \u00a0 I plan to\u00a0use\u00a0some of their questions to\u00a0build the Kahoot! quiz for Friday&#8217;s class. \u00a0The students have already exclaimed they&#8217;re excited to try this new tool. \u00a0Plus, they&#8217;re stating how difficult it is to write questions for a quiz and to find the answer. \u00a0My students are being challenged to read and understand the material, as well as to understand the work all teachers put into their courses. \u00a0Kahoot! doesn&#8217;t have to be used this way. \u00a0In fact,\u00a0Kahoot! has quizzes that other users have created, so you can also try those quizzes if they match your content. \u00a0I know one faculty member who looked up a Kahoot! quiz to practice some concepts with her children. \u00a0 She said they all had fun reviewing and learning the concepts together!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-1414 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Kahootpic-275x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kahoot!pic\" width=\"275\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Kahootpic-275x300.jpg 275w, https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Kahootpic-939x1024.jpg 939w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Integrating technology into the classroom has not always been my forte. \u00a0However, when I learn about a new tool I understand and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[110],"tags":[116,117],"class_list":["post-1380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teaching-tips","tag-quiz","tag-quizzes"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5DI6r-mg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1380"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1380\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1415,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1380\/revisions\/1415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.principia.edu\/teaching-excellence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
