13 - Kahoot

 Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform, used as educational technology in schools and other educational institutions. Its learning games (called kahoot), are user-generated multiple-choice quizzes that can be accessed via a web browser or the Kahoot! app. Instead of forcing students to solve a test all by themselves Kahoot turns this concept into a game show almost. Teachers can create tests themselves or find pre-made ones in the Kahoot platform to use. Once the game starts the students are given a code to access the platform and start answering the questions. Through making the tests a game where students can compete, students feel as if they are on Who wants to be a millionare instead of their classroom. I'd argue the music that plays in the background adds to this effect! Students are awarded extra points for being fast, giving correct answers and keeping a streak of correct answers. At the end top three students will be celebrated on a virtual podium with confetti which will boost student's morale!
