A training for a large team where it saved cost in printing quiz papers, collecting papers, a person is responsible to make sure of the score. Kahoot! helped us in saving all the time, it is a sort of an ice-breaker. It really did a great job and at the end of the day everybody was very happy.

Kahoot is an easy online program to use when engaging students in learning. It promotes fun learning and students can easily interact with others while using it. Teachers have beneficial access to create the activities or search for those that someone else has created and saved. It's fun for all involved.

Kahoot! is well suited in this time of pandemic where people are not allowed to do face to face interaction. It provides fun after we do the webinar. It is also perfect where it is easy to find the link in google. It is less appropriate when we go back to normal events.

This tool can be very useful to test students' understanding and knowledge in a Knowledge Quiz/gaming scenario.: Who is the first and answers the most questions correctly. Kahoot! will display both winners and runners up automatically. On the other hand when students are not knowledgeable, fast, or just shy this approach might not be effective and even counter-productive.

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.

In my experience, we usually use Kahoot when we conduct webinars, company events, and other online activities. This application is more applicable to this kind of event. During the pandemic, many companies conducted events online and one of the most used apps is Kahoot. I'm not sure where it is not appropriate.

As I stated in my first comment, Kahoot is one of the exciting and enjoyable tool game for us. It suits in every occasions, plans and events in our organization and even in outside of the company's activities. We always use Kahoot in our webinars and virtual events to test all the participants on their learning check and knowledge in the specific topic.

During this pandemic, Kahoot was a great and amazing product where it binds all people together to have fun. It helps a lot as well to make the meeting or presentation to make it more enjoyable. It can be an ice breaker to any training to all the participants who are already bored or can be sleepy as well and helps them to get more energized again on the training.

If I was asked how I would rate Kahoot, I would most likely give them a 7 or 7.5. The tool is useful and fun within a work environment but it does not exactly solve a business problem. It is fun at times, specifically because our company incentivizes our players, but if those incentives weren't there it wouldn't be quite as exciting as it could or should be. Can get boring at times if used multiple weeks on end.

In a meeting, you can use Kahoot to create games for an ice breaker. It's fun to use. You have to be fast to pick the correct answers for you to have a high score in games. It's user-friendly and well suited for every event because it gives fun to the member of the meeting.

Kahoot is best during this time of the pandemic, we can give learning, knowledge check to our users, clients, and staff. A little competition to the end-user because they need to be on top 3 to be able to get a prize. They also need to be fast in clicking the best answer.

Kahoot uses in live games or quizzes. It is a fun way to use after the training/webinars. The easy and accurate way of collecting points from the players/participant. Especially, if there are too many players. It will be difficult for the event organizer to collect and answers from and identify the winner. Using Kahoot, it's now convenient to collect scores and fair identify winners.

A very reliable scenario for use and within faculties and teaching intuitions and companies that promote training and the dissemination of content. Many companies find it difficult to pass content and teachings to their employees in an interactive and efficient way and Kahoot makes this process much easier. An inappropriate scenario, I believe, is in companies with a very closed mentality and with slow processes where many innovations are not allowed.

This product is well suited either in an educational environment for students to learn in a fun way. It can also be used in work environments to engage teams that are remote. Either way, this tool is fantastic to use and really engaging for young or older ages. Great job Kahoot!

Kahoot is a great way for students to play educational games, practice concepts that they know, and help reinforce ideas and content that they know. It is less suited for primary instruction where they are learning new content for the first time. It is very well suited for review and practice. It is loads of fun and makes education easy.

Kahoot is excellent for more mature students, I would say students in 3rd grade and above. It's excellent if you want to create a fun and engaging way to test or quiz students, or even just to review content information. I really appreciate that there are thousands of already made lessons, so I almost never have to make my own! I get to simply search, make sure it's appropriate for what I'm looking for, and use it (yay no prep!).

Kahoot is great for a variety of internal and external uses, including onboarding, training, board presentations, etc. It is also very useful for presenting at conferences, presenting information, or gauging interest in potential projects. It may be less appropriate in groups of people unfamiliar with the specific technology or those who don't have reliable internet access.

When teaching fifth grade, students enjoyed reviewing content covered in class by playing classic Kahoot games. As the site has evolved, teachers are now able to present lessons within Kahoot and use the same platform to review the content presented. Students do not have to changes sites mid-lesson. It is a game-changer.

Kahoot for university? Yes!

Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review

Kahoot is excellent for small to medium groups of students, regardless of their ages. It is as useful at the elementary level as it is at the university level. Obviously, the questions asked would need to change according to the age and scholar level of the students. It is a wonderful tool to get the class engaged in a lecture-comprehension questionnaire. The reason behind Kahoot being suitable for such a large range of students is because it depends merely on the professor to take advantage of this tool, which makes it perfect for all types of school regardless of the age of students. Kahoot may not be as useful for large groups (30+), as due to the leaderboard system it has, some students may not care enough to put effort into answering the questions.

Kahoot! is fun, the students like it, and it engages them with the activity. You can make it a group or individual activity and they test their knowledge without too much pressure. The game does all the scoring for you and provides updates after every question. It's really easy to use and provides interaction in the middle or end of a presentation.

Kahoot! is great for online classes. You can make assessments, topic reviews, and even just plain games to engage with your class. It's especially great for short, timed problems that students can answer in a couple of seconds instead of harder questions. However, this is less appropriate if you are hosting a game with a bad network since it WILL encounter problems.

I used Kahoot! for the first time when I started this establishment. It was said that there will be a competition on Kahoot! at the end of a training. Since I did not have enough time to download the application, I opened it through the browser and joined the application. Since I did not have any information about the application, I could not answer the question because I could not see any answer on my phone in the first question.

If you want to do fun quizzes for your company, then buy a license and do the branding. Using Kahoot! is very easy for participants and by being part of the fun everybody is active. Of course, have some good prizes to be won so everybody is excited.
