KAHOOT is a Hoot! 

Kahoot! is a free game-based learning platform that makes it fun to learn – any subject, in any language, on any device, for all ages! We used Kahoot this year to review library policies, and a student actually said, "What a great way to keep us engaged." You can create quizzes, discussions, and surveys. Kahoot works great for warm-ups or exit tickets, and it is a great way to quickly test for understanding. Best of all, you don't have to have a specific device to use it. You can access Kahoot from any device, tablet, computer, or phone with internet access. If you'd like a mini-lesson stop by the library, and I'd be happy to show you how it works.
