Tech Tip: PIN-in and poll!

Use Kahoot! polls to gather feedback, survey students, and prompt pulse-checks.

 

Teacher-student ratios are spreading greater and greater, and opportunities for one-on-one conversations seem few and far between. Ensure all students feel seen, heard, and recognized and incorporate Kahoot! Poll as a quick-fix for gauging student readiness, social-emotional load, and classroom confidence!

Incorporate Kahoot! Polls into your next kahoot

Kahoot! Poll formats simplify the student experience, allowing all learning experiences to be contained (and condensed) into a single sign-on experience. Poll questions are available within the Kahoot! Creator, making student access seamless.

  3. Navigate to Edit Mode and “Add a question” within the Creator
  4. Select “Poll” from the listed question types
  5. Include a question title or prompt to elicit student responses
  6. Include (up to 6) different Poll options, whether via text prompt or embedded images and graphics
    #KahootTop: Poll questions are not included in Kahoot! Report scoring. All answers are right answers!
