Today, children and teachers all over the world
are in a world of online learning.
What else is so boring about this learning style
of not being able to see and talk to each other?
Today I am going to introduce you to
an interactive learning guide that will help teachers
and children alike find a very interesting
and useful learning alternative to this boring learning style.
What is that an item, right ?
Let's go straight to the video.
Welcome to Jyju's Home Videos !
Kahoot is the name of the study guide I mentioned earlier.
This is an interactive program.
Let's see how this Kahoot is used,
which is equally useful for teachers, children
and people of any profession.
First let's google the word Kahoot.
Open this visible link from these two links here.
You can see that Kahoot's home page opened here.
Now we need to sign up here, as we use it for the first time.
Once you have pressed the sign up button, you will get four options.
They are Teacher, Student, Personal and Professional.
Of these, only the first two options have free plans.
Other options include different plans that can be paid in a month or a year.
Here I am selecting the option of Teacher.
For children, select the Student option, here.
On the next page we need to select our workplace.
I'm going to school here.
You have to select the right option according to your situation.
Let's sign up on the next page.
We can sign up by typing in an email address and a password.
Or we can sign up with a Google account,
a Microsoft account or an Apple account.
When you select the Teacher option,
you will see that there are various plans in itself.
Only the first of these is free.
Other plans have different rates and options as given here.
The important thing to look for here
is how many people can use it.
With this free plan,
a teacher can teach up to 50 students at a time.
If you have more children than that,
you can choose the plans as per your need.
Kids plans are completely free.
Let us select the free plan.
Then we will come to Kahoot's home page.
Now let's see how to make a Kahoot.
To do this, let us press the Create button.
On the next page we can see some templates.
The first option I select is the New Kahoot option.
The first thing we see is a model of a question
that can be answered with four choices.
As we can see, let us select the model of the questions.
This free plan has the first two models.
Other models are in the Premium plans.
Now I am selecting the model called Quiz.
We can use both models in one Kahoot.
Next we can set the time for each question.
The default is 20 seconds per question
The points to be given for each answer are to be set next.
If there is more than one correct answer
then we have to select the premium plan.
Let us type the first question here.
We can also copy it from a question bank and paste it here.
The next step is to type in four choices of answers.
Then tick the correct answer.
We have the option to add a photo to these questions.
But in this plan we can only download one photo.
We can upload and use
the rest of the photos from our computer.
Similarly, we can type or copy and paste
the remaining questions and answers.
What I do here is copy and paste.
After three quiz type questions,
I am adding True or False type questions.
Here also we have to tick the correct answer.
What I am doing here is a Kahoot with five questions.
We can mix different types of questions
and make as many questions as we want here.
Now let's save this Kahoot.
You have to give it a name.
You can then continue.
You can see the Kahoot we just made is saved here.
At this point,
the Kahoot is ready with our questions and answers.
Now let's see how we can use this Kahoot.
Let's open this Kahoot.
Then press the Play button.
We can use this in two ways.
This is the first method.
Select the Teach option.
Look at the settings on the next page and change as needed.
Participants will be able to see questions and choices
only if the Show Questions and Answers option is turned on.
So that's all that's I am changing on this page.
Now let us select the Classic option.
You can see a Game Pin loading here.
All you have to do is send this PIN number to the participants.
Now I'm going to show you
what the Kahoot participants have to do.
Do a Google search for Kahoot.
Here, select the Play kahoot option.
Enter the PIN number we got on the next screen.
Now let us type our name here.
For children in the class, it is best to include their full name.
Once everyone is logged in, the teacher can start the session.
There will be a good competition
as those who answer first will get more points.
Now let us see what is the second option.
Click on the Play button and select the Assign option.
What is done here is to determine a time for the participants.
Here we can give a date and time as we like.
And also we can change some of the options below.
As you can see here,
up to 50 people at a time can play this one game or Kahoot.
If more people are needed
then the next plans will have to be taken.
Change the settings and press the Create button.
You can see a link on the next page.
We can copy this link and invite others to this Kahoot.
We can use it in many ways like Google Classroom,
Teams, Facebook, Twitter, Zoom Meeting as given here.
You can see the Kahoots we made like this in our library.
We can use them all at any time.
If we do not have time to make a new Kahoot,
we can find a good one out of
thousands of Kahoots from here and use as we like.
So let's try a new learning method that is very different
from the boring learning methods
in the classrooms we have seen so far.
These Kahoots, which are useful for children and teachers alike,
can be useful for trainers in any other field.
All they have to do is select the plans that suit their needs.
Until we see you again with another video
that is interesting like this, Bye bye to Everyone !
