Using Kahoot! For Interactive Testing

       Continuing on with our topic of assessment and testing guidelines, each one of my classmates created a test to present and share with the class using Googledocs.  Four volunteers created tests using other digital tools, these being: Kahoot, JogNog, AnswerPad, and Socrative. I chose to use Kahoot, which is free and sign up quick and easy.  This digital tool engages students in interactive, game-based quizzes, surveys, and discussions.  During quizzes, students compete against each other for points (unless you choose the "no points" option) and are able to see where they rank among fellow quiz takers after each question.  Students can take the quiz, etc. on their computers, iPhones, or iPads!  This tool is great for quickly assessing student knowledge in a less formal way than traditional testing. You can review answers immediately after the students complete a question. This game-based learning experience certainly engages students in the task.  I would definitely recommend this digital tool to teachers of all grades!
