education I'm gonna give myself a name so I'm going to put Russell 201 9 and then I need to
use an email address so I'm gonna just use one of my email addresses so in fact there's a few
options here it's not allowing me to put in Vessel 2009 bucks so I use this one here that'll do and
then what I'm gonna do here is add in my email address advice is once you've filled it in then

Conditions that's really important then click on join Kahoot and that should give you an account

these other options but what we're going to do is really sign on to the free account and one way is

you want okay so click on that and now you are logged into Kahoot and ready to go you do have
to kind of put your name so I'm going to put in Russell that will do and then click on done and
that's simply now gonna start me off and I'm gonna make my first car who straight away and I'm going
to click on the button that allows me to create a car who and that button is over there on the
right hand side so what I'm going to click on now once I've clicked on create is to click on this
button here new car because that's what we want to do want to create a new cards once we click
on that button we come on to this screen where we can begin to add our questions now I'm gonna
keep this quite simple and in reality whenever I do a car this is really the way that I do them I
don't tend to have an image on the opening page and now I simply come over to here and the first
thing I always do is give my car hood a title so I'm gonna write test car boot with August updates
and you always have to give a quick description so again I'm gonna write test car boot now you
don't need to set anything else here okay that's gonna be all fine the language I'm going to use is
going to be English and it's for everybody and then I'm going to click on done so now that's
just the settings done now I begin to add the questions now to add a question it's really easy
I simply just click here ok now the first question is actually already on the screen so I can simply
click and add the first question and I'm going to say for example what is the pop Q relation of
London okay so it's gonna be my first question and then afterwards I'm gonna come over to here
and then put in my first on my answers I'm gonna write nine million okay let's say your 10 million
and let me just did I'm just going to pause this for like a day so I've written in both the
question now and my answers and I need to tell Kahoot what the correct answer is so I'm going
to click on 8 million currently the population of London is just over 8 million and I can actually
decide how long the questions going to last for on the screen and I'm quite happy with 20 seconds I
should be fine for the first question now I need to add another question and I simply do that by
clicking again on add question and it's going to ask me do you want a quiz question which is like a
multiple-choice with for answers or true or false I'm going to carry on with quiz questions I'm
going to click on here and now we've got another question so I'm going to continue with the theme
of London I'm gonna write the question at the top and say which of these castles is oldest
okay I'm only gonna do three or four questions just to demonstrate how it works and again I
just simply click here now and add in the answer so let me just stop the video add those answers
I've just changed change the question slightly here so that we can use Tower of London as the
answer so I'm just going to click on that to put the correct answer I'm going to allow 20 seconds
for that question we've now done two questions are going to do one more so I'm going to click
on add question you can always come back to a question just by clicking on it if we need to
edit or change it we're going to add a quick very quick question here which of these is not
in London the answer would be Oxford University click on that I've done three questions I can
always go back as I said and do a question again and if I come over to here and also duplicate or
delete a question when I'm happy and I've got my three questions now all I need to do is I've got
a couple of options here I can click on preview and what's that gonna do is just gonna show me
what the students see on the screen and I can click through and just say right yeah I'm happy
with that and I'm happy with that two three and I can see just very quickly what the questions
are gonna look like so that's just an option to preview when you want to exit the preview click
here when you finish what you really want to do those click on the done button so I'm going
to click on done because you've done it and now it's going to make a suggestion that you could
add a cover on to your questions if you want to I really don't want to do that I'm gonna
click on done that's absolutely fine so it's now ready and there are really two ways that
you can test your car who and I'm going to show you both ways how you can now test and see is it
working now a little tip what you can do is you can actually test to see if your car who works
and if you click on test on the actual link here so actually on on the cahoots on my codes and if
I click on that Kahoot it opens up on to the screen and the interesting thing is that I can
come over to the left hand side here and click on preview and this allows me to test the Kahoot and
see how it's working and what it's actually going to do is it's gonna set out the left-hand side of
the screen for the teacher and the right-hand side of the screen as if I was a student so I
can really get an idea of how it's gonna work so click on that preview button and okay this
is like a live game simulation okay so I always choose a classic no point in choosing team mode
because if you use team mode then it's gonna codes going to wait for you to put everyone's
name in in the team what I tend to do is put my students together in groups and then I get them
to create a to think of a name for their group and then they simply put the name in so really use the
classic mode that's going to work fine what's going to happen is a number's going to come up
onto the screen and then the students obviously have their telephones or their laptops or their
mobiles there for example apps and they put in that code 3 507 and of course all the students
will be doing this they can press enter I have to put in a nickname too let's say they go call
themselves the super group let's just say for an example okay and then click on go as soon as they
put that in the name will appear on the screen you can delete anyone notice if someone wrote
a rude name or something like that you wait for everyone to come in and then as soon as everyone
comes in you click on the bond on the start button obviously the screen on the left is been projected
so that the students can see it and then they've conceived their mobile phones and they're going
to see the answer first question comes on to the screen we just wait a few seconds okay and
there's the first question what is the population of London and then obviously the students have got
basically 420 seconds to make a decision and the correct answer here is 8 million and then once all
the students have answered okay you can click on next so once they're all the answers have coming
you click on next and it's going to show you who's in the lead you click on next again to bring up
the next question same things going to happen the question is going to be projected onto the screen
and the students thing we're putting their answers once all the students have put in their answers if
their answers in this will come up on the screen again you might want to give a bit of feedback
and then click on next so again we can see the score we click again on the next button here and
we've got a question here which of these is not in London and again we're just going to click on what
we think is the answer and again it's gonna tell me if we're right or wrong if we click on next
and we're gonna see the score and in this case we're at the end of the game so that is basically
a great way of being able to test if your code is working now one interesting thing about Kahoot as
well is that it does give you really interesting feedback on your students performance and if we
click on this get feedback button and we're gonna click here on save results and then we're gonna
directly download those results I'm just gonna click on that and it will download them you can
see them download in here so if we open up the data we'll just do that onto the screen you'll
see you get really detailed information about how many answers were correct how many were incorrect
you can even go through and look at if we come down below here you'll see there's quite a lot of
information you get a list of all the players and then what their score was and then you've actually
got like a summary and then it was even broken down into the individual questions and you can
go through those and see so really useful in terms of you getting an understanding if you're gonna
use it say for formative feedback and you want to understand how well the students are performed if
there's anything that they've not understood that you want to teach them again we can get a lot of
information here that can be really useful so the results are very very useful so I'm just going to
close that down so I'm going to come back out of this screen and you can enclose down cards
and come back to your opening page just so let's just talk a little bit about the layout of the
screen at the top then you've got your home button here it's going to kind of bring you
on to a page where you're going to see your recent car who where you can also access all the reports
if you want to go back and look at the feedback you've that was generated on all of the ones that
you've done you can download any of the feedback okay just gonna click back again to home button if
you want to see a list of all your cards because that's don't forget just the reports the results
after doing that if you want the actual see your Kahoots click here we've got a list of them if you
want to test any of your cards and this is one of the things that's a little bit difficult to
find in the new version of kuru then click here and then from there you can simply click here and
remember what I did was I did preview now there is another way of testing your Kahoot and that is
simply to play it and then with your telephone or login and then you can be on your telephone
you just go to car who I T play the game on the screen and actually interact with yourself on the
telephone and you can use the to the computer to be the teacher and the telephone to be the student
that's a really good work way of working so useful buttons are Karhu button here and that will bring
you up to all your car hoops and also your home button here now one little thing I'm just going
to tip you on as well if you go to your cards if you click on the right hand side here you do
have a button called share and you can copy that link and share your card with another teacher
so another student or sorry another teacher and download your car who and use it you just simply
need to share that link or if you know their name put in their car hoop name and click on share
and you can send them a copy of the car hood that you've created I really hope you found that video
