Kahoot! vs. News2you

I think it works great as a part of lesson. Sometimes teachers use it as a whole period lesson and I don't think that's effective. I also find that students like to use it to test themselves so it works well as a self study tool. I do think Kahoot! has a lot of options for responses which is great.

I love being able to use N2Y during whole group activities, as well as small group and one-on-one instruction. I also like that I can keep up with student progress through benchmarks, and I can assign work for students to complete on their own

• Useful for either, in-person or online classes: it can work from a projector or screen in in-person classes, or by sharing the screen in online classes.
• Excellent to get an idea of the understanding or knowledge level of a group of people: depending on the intention of the game, the professor or person in charge of it can make and change the questions to address certain points.
• Easy to use for both professors and students: Kahoot is intuitive, simple, and fun to use.
• Interactive and engaging: Kahoot is a game designed to work as a tool for professors, which makes it perfect to use with students.

• Having sometimes large classes means that I cannot use Kahoot! as it only allows a very limited amount of participants.
• The above is the main issue and other competitor platforms (Mentimeter) do much better on this
• There is also very limited choice with the basic account in terms of types of questions. Some sort of corporate license might help Universities purchasing the advanced subscription (which costs too much for a single professional) and have access to all the features.

The site's currently layout feels busy. If you are not a seasoned Kahoot user, it is easy to be distracted and overwhelmed by the information presented. I would not recommend this site to a novice computer user. If the user is tech-savvy and willing to navigate the help topics provided by the site, lessons and games can be created more easily with time and practice.

News2you is easy to use and figure out. There is a help section to figure out how to use features. I would have rated higher if when I first logged into News2you, it opened a tutorial to learn about all the features. I am on my second year of using this platform and still discovering features

The information that Kahoot shares on its blog and support center is updated frequently and provides many ideas for ways to use the platform. I have personally received timely support from Kahoot for any issues I have encountered. Their dedication to their users is amazing. The company is incredibly receptive to suggestions or ideas from their community.

I forgot the names of the other products like Kahoot. I think that summarizes how close I am to favoring Kahoot within this category. In our field when it's webinar time we always look forward to Kahoot sessions in between or at the end of the session. It is great to have Kahoot during these times

TeachTown is a bit more complicated to use, and I feel like N2Y provides several training videos to learn the program at your own pace

• We use the free version so there is definitely ROI for us.
• It provides easy access to a quiz feature without having to use complicated software.
• So many people are using it now that some students seem to be getting a little "over it."
