Kahoot Gives Us New Choices and Updates!

By Anonymous -
The amazing Kahoot student response tool now has some new features!

First of all, you can now put a YouTube video as the cover image of your quiz.  So when students are putting in the pin and their nickname, the video will be playing.


Another feature I've been playing with is uploading a gif instead of an image for some of the questions.  This really adds a nice feel to the quiz.  Check out this quick recording I did of one of my quizzes with a video and gifs:



Would you like to add a gif to your Kahoot?  Click here to read a blog post I wrote about how to make Gifs.
There is also the option to play a YouTube video in place of an image for a question.  I gave this a try, but it did not work for me.  This is an experimental feature.


Another great feature is the ability to duplicate any public quiz and adjust the questions and answers to work for you.  I tried this feature and it worked great!


Kahoot continues to just get better and better!!!!  I hope you give these new features a try!

The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
