Kahoot! [1]
translation of the article “Kahoot!” from Wikipedia.org
Kahoot! It is a gaming educational platform used as educational technology in schools and other educational institutions. Kahoots Learning Games is a multi-choice quiz that allows users to be generated and accessible through a web browser .
Kahoot! Can be used to test students' knowledge, for formative assessment, or as a break in classroom activities. Kahoot! also includes trivia quiz [2]
General view
Kahoot was designed for social learning, where students gather around a common screen, such as an interactive whiteboard, projector, or monitor. The site can also be used with screen sharing tools such as Skype [3] or Google Hangouts [4] . The gameplay is simple: all players use the device to answer questions created by a teacher, a business leader or another person, a teacher [5] . Correct answers to questions are translated into bonus points. Then the points earned lead the leaders after each question.
Kahoot can be played through various web browsers and mobile devices through a web interface.
In September 2017, Kahoot was launched on the mobile platform as an application.
Kahoot Jumble
Kahoot made a new feature in 2016, called Jumble. Users create quizzes with four options (there are always exactly four) in the correct order. Kahoot automatically randomizes responses during the game. Users must move the triangle, rhombus, circle and square top and in the correct order. Then users must click the blue round button with the text “K!” Under the rectangles. [6] If the user suspects that the answers are in the wrong order, then the rectangles must be moved down to their original position before they can be moved back to the correct position.
Development
Kahoot was launched in a private beta at SXSWedu in March 2013 and was released to the public in September 2013.
In March 2017, Kahoot reached a total of one billion participating players, and in May, the company says it has 50 million active unique users per month. [7]
As of 2017, Kahoot has attracted $ 26.5 million in funding from Northzone, Creandum and Microsoft Ventures, as well as private investors from Norway [8]
As of October 11, 2018, Kahoot is valued at $ 300 million [9]
