Kahoot! provides the best tool to train others and perform educational tests using the application. The best thing is that others can connect online using their smart phones to take quizzes to measure success of training provided earlier.

We had issues basically in finding a good tool to test staff that can stay as a database until we found Kahoot!.

Kahoot is being used in our district for review of concepts, engagement with the curriculum, and as a formative assessment tool. It is great that it has activities already created or the option to create your own for a topic you are teaching. The only problem is sometimes they want to charge extra to create a game or activity. Sometimes it is also hard to find the options you want for creating or using.

Kahoot! is a big help during this time of pandemic since there is no face-to- face events, our partners is using Kahoot! to provide entertainment after the knowledge training or learning check.

Kahoot! is a great tool for implementing gaming aspects in learning activities at the university level. We used it in our school of Architecture, design, and planning for Bachelor of Architecture units. Most students find it to be very engaging and interactive. I have also been on the receiving end of using Kahoot!, as it was used by the SES teaching activities, where I was in a role of a student.

We mainly use and encounter Kahoot during webinars gamifying during those times. With Kahoot, we can ensure attendees can freely interact and listen to everything being presented during the session. It also brings out the best among the attendees who have more knowledge or who listened thoroughly with the help of Kahoot.

Our company uses Kahoot on our company events such as webinars, presentations, and company events. This is the most commonly used application for games. It helps the participants be more engaged and enjoy the events at the same time. This is a very fun game. This application is also user-friendly.

Kahoot is one of the enjoyable and exciting tool games for me and for us because it enhances the lessons learned or knowledge about the specific topic or category. We use this Kahoot in our Webinars, Learning Check, Townhall assembly, Company Assembly Hall, Funnel Meeting, Anniversary or Annual Thanksgiving, Christmas Party, New Year Celebration, even outside the organization's activities, we use it in Birthday Party, Dedication or Christening, Wedding Party or Bridal Shower, Baby shower and reunions. I like Kahoot especially we can modify the topic or category in every game. For example, in our Company's webinar, we can modify it to Network Security topics or HW solutions learning checks. In line with this, we will also know who listened to our webinar accordingly or not.

Kahoot was mostly used in our organization whenever there was a program or a celebration such as a year-end party, team building, and the likes. Having this product makes the program so much fun. Especially during this pandemic, where most of us are all working from home or staying at home. Having an online event doesn't leave the fun because we have a Kahoot to make the event more enjoyable. It is so amazing how this product makes us bond together even though we are all far away from each other. It makes it easier for the host to show the question and the choices to all participants and immediately provide who is the leading or the top participants on the question. It makes it easier for the host as well to know the winner of the game because, after the game, it immediately provides the winner of the event. Accessing the Kahoot was very easy because you can access it whether via your laptop or via mobile phone whenever and wherever you are. One problem that we encountered was when you have a weak internet connection, you could have trouble accessing this Kahoot. So we need to make sure we have a good internet connection when connecting to Kahoot.

We use Kahoot on a regular basis here at AuditBoard. We use it almost every Friday for team bonding purposes. Our leadership team will typically pick a topic throughout the week to study that is typically relevant to that specific week to "quiz" us on. Great for helping with team morale, making things competitive, and teaching employees new things while incentivizing them at the same time.

We used Kahoot to have a knowledge check to our customers. It also gives fun and learning to us. The customer tends to get excited when they heard that there will be a Kahoot after the training. We also provide prizes to be more exciting. Sometimes, we get concerns about their internet connections.

We use Kahoot games in our training or webinars. For knowledge check or games after the discussion. It is a fun way and easy to organize quizzes or games, the collection of answers from participants is easy and accurate to determine the points and the winners. Since all of us are using smartphones, everyone can join and can adopt online gaming. There is no need to download any application, by just going to Kahoot website and entering the game pin, you can join. Also, we can give ourselves a cute nickname depending on what we want.

I learned about this tool in college and it proved to be very effective in assimilating and reviewing the content. In the organization I work for, I try to promote training and content teaching in a more interactive and efficient way. I use it within my marketing sector and in some training that I promote to external customers and external sectors such as sales and SDRs. It turned out to be a structured, organized, and easy-to-use tool. It has a functional and beautiful design, its functions streamline our training and assimilation of promoted content.

My organization uses Kahoot during company events and the entire team is very engaged throughout. It's been a lifesaver when going remote, especially during COVID times. We tried other tools like google forms or SurveyMonkey, but none provided the level of fun that Kahoot did. It's very easy to use not just for the creator but also for the user.

Kahoot helps students learn and review new material in many different subject areas. It allows students to practice the learning concepts, ideas, and topics in a gamified way so that they are learning and having fun at the same time. Teachers can have the students play the games in a variety of ways to further the experience.

Most upper elementary/middle school teachers at my school utilize Kahoot in their classroom. Because it is so widely used, all of our students are extremely familiar with how to use it. Kahoot is great for making a fun and interactive way to quiz students and get a baseline understanding of where they stand on content understanding. It's also great for when you have a few minutes left of class, you can find an already made Kahoot to play with your students!

I use Kahoot! to keep colleagues involved with our presentations in a variety of ways. I use it to gauge how much they know about the topic I'm presenting on, use it as a tool or "mini quiz" at the end of the session, or just collect opinions anonymously to see how people are feeling. I love that it offers different games and ways to be interactive.

Our organization uses this application in similar yet different ways. We use this in individual classrooms, both at home and in-class. We use this in both primary and intermediate grade levels. For primary grades, we practice simple concepts with in-class review. In intermediate grades, students are able to create study sets, and teachers are able to create assessments by using reports within Kahoot. Teachers are able to monitor student progress and retention while dialing up student interest and involvement.

Kahoot for university? Yes!

At my university, Kahoot is commonly used by the majority of professors as an interactive tool for either, in-person or online classes. The most common ways for the professors to use Kahoot are at the beginning of each lecture to get a better insight on what the level of the class regarding a certain topic, or at the end of the class, to know how well the class understood the concepts explained during the lecture. As a student, I find Kahoot to be an interesting and engaging tool for both, online and in-person classes. Kahoot allows me to explore concepts while competing with classmates in a risk-free and friendly environment.

We are using Kahoot! in our department to engage youth and college students and test their knowledge on subject areas in a fun way. We use it with the youth and college students individually and in a team format. Although we are using it, I believe that many others in departments across the university are also using it in their classroom settings. I know this from informal conversations, but we don't have a university-wide license. Most of us are using the free education model.

As part of our Continuous Improvement efforts, making the experience fun has been difficult. By using Kahoot! to make it a "game show" type of learning environment, makes the information stick in a fun and upbeat way. Kahoot! makes the learning more interactive and positive! The way we were able to incorporate Kahoot! into our continuous improvement allowed our participants to retain the information, allowing them to be able to recall and apply that knowledge in the field. I educate my fellow employees on the various topics, then play a question and answer game-show type activity like Jeopardy. It gets everyone excited and participating instead of fading into the background and never actually "learning" what is being taught. I cannot say enough great things about Kahoot! and the many benefits it has to stepping up the education. And actually, I learned about Kahoot! from my kids. Kahoot! is used on a regular basis in the classroom to help reinforce the topic being taught. All positive feedback here!

Kahoot! is my favorite tool to engage with my students. It's great for reviewing information, and students really enjoy it. I usually do games at the end of the class and students have told me that it helps them to retain the information. It's especially helpful for me as a professor in order to assess how many (and which) students are understanding the concepts. Then, I can reinforce that missing information with the students. It's fast, easy, fun, and exciting.

Kahoot! is used by the whole institution in the institution where I have been working for 2 years. After all the activities held in the company, a competition is held on Kahoot!. It is very fast to download and install, it is compatible with Android and IOS. It's easy to create quizzes on Kahoot!. Anyone can create quizzes without any training. It has a user-friendly and simple design. The only shortcoming is that the answers are not written on the mobile application, only the figures are shown. Reading the answers over the projection and matching them with the figure can cause a waste of time.

For our internal use, we have Kahoot! to do fun quizzes. We are a company of about 800 persons. We even used Kahoot! during our online informal meetings to do fun quizzes and it worked. Apart from being used in the whole company, some departments also use it for their departmental needs. Though not an essential product, we did buy a license and use it very happily.
