Hi this is Russell stannard from teachertrainingvideos.com. I'm not in my little
studio in London today unfortunately i'm in a hotel room but i'm gonna make a video about using
kahoot if you're teaching online so if you're working with zoom or microsoft teams or even
google meet any of those tools and you want to use a kahoot with your students fully online how can
you do it. I'll take you right through the whole process from the student view and from the teacher
view. Really hope you like the video and as if you do please like it please share it with other
teachers if you can please leave any comments below and if you want to follow my work come
over to teachertrainingvideos.com loads of free videos and you can also sign up to the newsletter.
Let's get started. Now the best way to do a kahoot if you're doing it online is to get the students
to answer the questions using a telephone so get them to connect to Kahoot from their
telephones. I'll show you how to do that in a minute but actually if you place the questions
on your screen and then share screen the question so that the students can see the questions
on the screen so you've got to divide it up into two parts. The students answer the questions
using their telephones but they actually see the questions on the screen because you screen share
the questions so it's almost like when you project the questions. When you're doing a lesson in the
class but this time you're screen sharing them so everyone can see your questions and then answer
the questions using their telephones that's the most effective way to do a kahoot when the
students are working at home and i'm going to take you through that process now. Now i'm not going to
kind of show you all the details of kahoot. I'm presuming you've got an account and what we're
going to do is focus on the kind of dynamics of how we set up and run an online kahoot session.
So I'm logged on and i'm going to create a Kahoot just to quickly remind you how to create one so
click on the create button and the first thing you're going to be asked is the type of kahoot
that you're going to do and i'm simply going to click on create this standard new kahoot
okay so i'm just using this one here and all i need to do now is to add in the questions
there are a few interesting things that you can set and at the beginning i'm not really
going to change any of these that is each question will give you a thousand points and
for the first question you've got 20 seconds to answer so all i need to do now is to type
in my question here at the top and then put in my four possible answers here on the screen.
So i've chosen my four options i've got to tell it which the correct answer is the correct answer
click here notice i could add a picture if i wanted i can also add a picture into the question
we'll have a look at some of these settings in a minute good idea to make sure i put a
question mark on there i'm happy with that as my first question okay now i'm going to add a second
question so i click here. So I'm going to carry on with the format of using the quiz so my second
question now first question is done and what i'm going to do for this second question is i'm going
to make it a little bit faster so i'm not going to give students 30 seconds i'm only going to give
them 10 seconds to answer the question and this is something i actually do normally not so quickly
but after say three or four questions i start to make the activities slightly quicker. So I've now
written a second question ''What is the biggest city in France?'' Leon, Marseille, Strasbourg
or Paris. Again I have to tell the system what the correct answer is i could use images along with
the answers if i wanted to that would be quite time consuming i could also use an image in the
question itself or even a video i really don't like to do that myself i like to keep it very
simple um i know we have these options sometimes an image library can be real or an image can be
really good because you can relate it to the question that you want the students to answer
so youtube videos obviously take time they make the actual doing the quiz slightly more
complicated so i generally avoid doing those we've now added two questions we're going to
add one more so we're going to add one more question so we click on add question again
we're going to choose a quiz question and again i'm gonna reduce this one down to 10 seconds
i'm not going to change the number of points you get i'm now going to type in the third question.
Okay so we've added a third question really simple questions i'm just trying to keep this
really simple. I'm gonna point out here how you could upload an image okay you've got these three
options but to upload an image you simply click here and then you can connect to an image that
is on your computer that could be associated with the question. Now if i put a picture of Washington
in I guess it's going to give give it away so it really does kind of depend really on the question
you're asking whether an image is appropriate but just to highlight how it would work
What i'm going to do is just come over to my pictures come over to my save pictures and i do
believe i've got an american flag so that seems appropriate so i'm going to put that in so that
question has got a flag included simply because it connects to the question and that is one of
the ways you could work but of course you could ask the question actually about the image now that
image will appear along with the question when we play the game and the same would be the case if
we decided to use video now there are a couple of things to think about here if you click on
settings okay good idea to give it a title so i'm going to call this quiz about cities
okay not particularly interesting quiz i'm just going to put a quick
description in here i'm going to save it to my carhoots there's no video or anything like that
and i'm going to allow everyone to to make use of this kahoot in other words if another
teacher wants to make a copy of it and use it for themselves i'm going to say that that's fine
because i've often used kahoots that other people have made i'm going to click on done that's all
finished and now i'd simply need to click on the done button here and we're ready to go now
it's very interesting because we can actually test our kahoot and i'm going to do that now
now you've got three options there but let's actually look into the planning now we'll play
it in a minute but to actually test it if we click here the reason this is really good is
that what kahoot does is it actually divides the screen up into two parts this here is what the
teacher should be screen sharing and this here is the students accessing the game on their computer
now i've turned off the the audio otherwise that music can get a little
bit annoying if the students log in with their telephones and they need to go to carhoot.it
carhoot.iit okay they simply write in the number so it's going to be five four two three
five three nine okay they put in that number so all the students will do that we click on enter
then they need to add a name so i'm going to imagine here i'm just going to write tom okay
so i'm just going to put tom in and click ok go and you'll see that tom appears on the screen
so remember this is the part that you are going to be screen sharing this is what your screen
share and this is what the students would do they will simply log in using their phones now slowly
all the students will log in and you will see the number of students because it will tell you here
when you're ready to start you click on the start button the first question will appear
on the screen which you will be screen sharing so the students will be able to see the question
okay so they can clearly see the question what is the capital of spain and then they have to
choose the correct answer they got 13 seconds the time's passing i'm going to click on there
now when all the students have answered the game or that question will immediately stop otherwise
it will only stop once the time is finished now the teacher then will click on the next
button remember this is what the students see it shows all the top scores so imagine you've got
20 students in the in the room it will show you all the top scores i think it shows you about the
first five and then the teacher will click on the next button so the teacher's controlling the pace
of the quiz clicks on the next button the second question now appears on the screen which the
teacher is screen sharing and the students look here and they have to put the answer now
i'm going to put the wrong answer so i'm going to click on that one there okay and actually we get
feedback that the answer is correct again because everyone in the in the quiz is now finished it
moves straight on to show the results otherwise it would wait 10 seconds remember the second
and third question we only gave the students 10 seconds 10 seconds actually is not a lot of time
because sometimes the telephones are a little bit bit slow to pick up the questions
so it's probably a good idea to have uh only to have about 20 seconds then you click on next and
we get a quick summary of how the students are coming on next again to come to the third question
immediately we screen share the question so the students can see on their computer what
the question is notice this time suddenly there is a picture at the top and the student clicks on the
correct answer they just about had time there they nearly finished the time it gives them immediate
feedback the game is over remember if the game will end or that each question will end only when
the time has run out or when everybody in the game has answered the question we click on next and we
actually get a summary of uh the winners to second place in the third place and in this particular
case obviously there's only one winner because it was only one person so that is exactly how kahoot
works when we work online but i'm going to show you now exactly what to do with your students
now let's go back to cahoots so we're going to stop playing the game and come
back to the actual original carhoot so i'll just click here to close that down
i'm going to leave that page for now come back to carhoot and if we come back to our
cahoots by just clicking here on the right hand side we should see now that we've got
uh all our cahoots we just click here to see a list of all our car hoots and we can actually
play that game in sirius now so what we're going to do is we're going to click on play
and we're going to um we've got two possibilities here for self-paced learning or for virtual
classrooms i'm going to do this one here okay so we're kind of using it for um assessment um
this could be set up easy for the students to do at home for homework for example but we're
concentrating on if you're doing a live session so i'm going to click on teach okay now when it comes
to the mode i always choose classic and the reason i do that is because when students are doing this
core game online it's you're probably going to get them to do it individually for obviously
from their homes so you don't want the team you don't want them working in teams you're going to
work and working in classic mode so my general advice is to choose classic you don't need to
change any of these actually if you want to you can but i'm going to simply click on classic and
now the game is going to start now of course the students then will now need to go to kahoot.it
so the students need to go to kahoot.it and they will put that code in two four two four two
so the students go to kahoot.it on their telephones so you need to be screen sharing
this window okay this is the window that you need to be screen sharing
so if so the students go to their telephones and they go to kahoot.iit the easiest thing
for them to do is just to go straight to google and write kahoot.rt it will come up
and then they are going to add here the code now let's just quickly remember what the code was
so the code the students have to put in is in this case 2 4 2 4 9 nine so remember this
is the student's view this isn't the teacher doesn't need to worry about this this is what
the student's doing on their telephones and then they're gonna put in their name and then they'll
be waiting for the first question to appear on the screen now if we jump back to the teachers view
so remember the teacher will be screen sharing this so that students will be able to look on
their computers and see this screen once everyone's logged in and they'll be able
to see their names on the screen so they know they're logged in the teacher will start the game
and the first question will appear on the screen just like before okay so the first
question comes up onto the screen the students can see the question on the screen and what they
will see on their telephones is this and they will choose the answer and that is exactly how
you can use carhoot in a live session in other words the students are answering the questions
on their telephone but you are screen sharing your screen sharing the questions so that they
can clearly see what the questions are and a lot of teachers have contacted me saying
russell i didn't understand how i could do the carhoot online so hopefully now i've made that
