Kahoot! user Jeremy Johnston (@helpteachtech) recently shared with us how his students are using Kahoot! in class. Jeremy is a technology teacher and EdTech enthusiast in Brenham, Texas.
It was so great, that we thought we’d share it with everyone, perhaps you could adopt Jeremy’s approach in challenging students to ask their own great questions?
Here he includes his instructions, rubric, tutorial, and submission video that he gave to his students when tasking them to make their own Kahoots on their last project.
Objective
You will create a Kahoot! quiz covering your favorite or best core class, using ten carefully crafted questions covering one your favorite topics from that particular class, and have at least ten players play and rate your quiz.
Assignment
- Choose your favorite or best eighth grade core class.
- Choose your favorite topic covered in class.
- Your current teacher of that subject.

- In your settings mark your difficulty, mark it school, and add tags and a description.
