Likelihood to Recommend In my encounters with Kahoot, It is a great thing that Kahoot gets attendees to listen and interact during webinar sessions. It helps presenters ensure that people are listening and learning something. With Kahoot, it is easier to convey messages and learnings during webinars as attendees look forward to answering all questions right during Kahoot time.
Read full review NWEA MAP is a great assessment for 1st grade and up. It directly aligns with the college and career standards. It can predict achievement on the ACT and state assessments. NWEA MAP used with kindergarten is not as aligned. It is very difficult for new kindergarteners to take. Most students guess because the assessment gets very long for them. It is a great assessment for the middle of the year for high achievers and at the end of the year for all students who are entering 1st grade.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review NWEA MAP Suite calculates projected growth for individual students based on their grade level and RIT score for each subject. Projected growth can be found on many different reports. Read full review Cons They can add more ways to perform quizzes. The site is not very simple to find your way through. It is uploaded with so much data; therefore it would be good if they can organize it a little bit. It would be good to give free templates to free users to attract them. Read full review NWEA MAP has technical issues during prime testing times (fall, winter, and spring). It is as if the system gets overloaded and cannot handle all of the students logged on at once. I would like to be able to see the reports immediately. Currently, you have to wait until the next day for the scores to be available. Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review The customer service is phenomenal! Every time I call, which is not very often, I always get a friendly agent that works hard to solve my problem and does not give up. They look at all angles of the issue and will go above and beyond to help. For example, our students are rostered by connecting NWEA MAP Suite to our SIS, and sometimes there is a glitch. NWEA will call the other software company if necessary, to help get the glitch fixed.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Kahoot is better for my competitive students, they love seeing their name constantly on the leaderboard. Kahoot has more lessons to chose from and my students simply like it more than
Quizizz .
Quizizz is good for more formal assessments, while Kahoot is better for more whole review of content. Both are appropriate in different situations!
Read full review NWEA MAP Suite is more directly aligned to our college and career readiness state standards and ACT. The questions are more rigorous than
Renaissance Star Assessments . The reports on the NWEA MAP Suite are more detailed and exact in where the data came from.
Read full review Return on Investment 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." Read full review Allowed us to test students 3x a year to better evaluate if a student is growing or not. The data from the MAP assessment may be included as part of the placement review process along with other data points, such as student work samples and other assessment data to help determine if a student is ready for the next grade level.
