When entering their website the following information is provided: “Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform that makes it easy to create, share and play learning games or trivia quizzes in minutes. Unleash the fun in classrooms, offices and living rooms!”. Kahoot! allows its users to create, play, and share games. These games can consist of multiple choice, true or false, and short answer questions. Pictures and videos can be added in to add visual appeal. There are two modes to choose from; “Classic” or “Team”. Each player will be scored based on whether they got the question right and how long it took. At the end everyone will be in order from highest to lowest score. This can all be done from any device, in the comfort of your home, at school, at work, or in public.

A popular use for Kahoot! is making review quizzes for students to play before tests. A teacher will comprise some of the review questions and use Kahoot!’s easy format to create questions. The students will use their phone, Chromebook, or iPad to log on and type in the code generated for that quiz. Although, this is just one example of how this platform can be used.

This platform is very useful in promoting collaboration. Firstly, Kahoot! allows for people to all connect to one game and share the fun. This causes a playful competition. Also, by selecting “Team Mode” users can work together to generate points. This builds collaboration and team working skills. Another way users can get involved with each other is by making their own games and allowing others to play them. This collaboration can be done in any setting, with anyone!
