Engaging learners worldwide with Kahoot!
Kahoot! makes it easy for educators to add engagement and fun to any lesson, review or assessment, whether in a physical classroom or virtually. Students and learners of all ages can also complete games at their own pace with Kahoot! challenges, stay motivated with their peers in study leagues, and use flashcards and study modes to boost their learning at home. Friends and families can connect from anywhere by discovering, creating and playing Kahoot! games on any topic and for any age. In organizations, work teams can use Kahoot! to engage employees in learning, create interactive presentations, power collaboration with the brainstorm feature and more.
Since launching in 2013, Kahoot! has grown from a classroom quiz tool to a global learning platform that connects and empowers learners of all ages—in the classroom, in virtual learning, at work and at home. Now, users will be able to navigate the Kahoot! app, host live Kahoot! games, assign self-paced challenges, share and play Kahoot! learning content in eleven languages.
Selcuk Yusuf Arslan, a computer science teacher at Ataturk Vocational and Technical High School in Ankara, Turkey, shared his thoughts on using Kahoot! to support learning: “Kahoot is the perfect tool to give students feedback on their progress. Contributing to the learning processes of students, having fun with them and sharing their excitement while doing this is really priceless. Let’s kahoot together in Turkish!”
