KAHOOT

Last weekend, I learned to use Kahoot as a learning tool in the classroom. Kahoot is basically a game-based technological tool that teachers can use to have students learn or review any subject they are learning in class. Students need to have their own device connected to internet in order to be able to use it and play with it. Since I am teaching the simple past tense using irregular verbs, I decided to try it out last Monday. I had already asked the students to study the irregular verbs at home, so I thought it would be a good idea to play it at the beginning of the class. That would give time for the late comers to integrate to the class. Fortunately, all students had their own devices connected to internet, so I had no problem explaining the tool and having them play. We did two games. The first one was just to have a quick overview of the most common irregular verbs. They had a hilarious time. They laughed and got engaged in the activity and at the same time they were learning. The second game was a little more challenging. In this one, they had to practice with the irregular verbs in affirmative and negative sentences and questions. They really enjoyed it too. If it had been for them, they would have spent the whole class playing Kahoot. They had a lot of fun and so did I. I really recommend this powerful learning tool to all teachers.
