How To Use Kahoot In Your Classroom
- 4. Instead of giving the answer… ask a question!
- 5. • Teaching is no longer about the lecture • Content is everywhere!
- 6. “There must be far less telling on the part of the teacher, and far more doing on the part of the student.” -- Jean Piaget, 1896-1980
- 8. What a Student Who Resisted Learned: “Not only can you learn on your own, you already do learn on your own and you will continue to learn on your own for your whole life!” -- Robert Talbert, Chronicle of Higher Education, “An Inverted Calculus Course: The Overture,” Jan 27, 2014
- 10. The Bottom Line • “Move traditional tasks of homework, rote memorization, lecture and recitation into an anytime role, which feeds the final benefit of liberation. Use technology to provide immediate feedback.”
- 11. The Bottom Line • “Move traditional tasks of homework, rote memorization, lecture and recitation into an anytime role, which feeds the final benefit of liberation. Use technology to provide immediate feedback.” • “In class, engage students in higher order tasks and discussion; have them collaborate, explain, interpret and predict outcomes based on their lower level knowledge.” -- David Huckleberry, Educational Technologist, Purdue University, 2014
- 12. The Bottom Line • “The 21st century Internet has changed everything. Now, knowledge and expertise can be transferred remotely and practiced locally. This profoundly changes the teaching/learning process… It will insinuate itself into the practices of everyone. Everyone!” -- Keith Hamon, Instructor of English, Middle Georgia State University, 2016

- 14. Questions • How much class time will I lose? • How do I cover all the content? • How do I quit being the “sage on stage”? • How do I keep them from taking shortcuts? • How do I teach them the “easy way” or the “right way” to get an answer? • How do I make sure they don’t Facebook, text or e-mail during class time? • How can students possibly learn everything on their own that I normally cover in my lectures????
- 15. The Answers • YOU are still the Professor • YOU provide a course outline, syllabus, schedule, learning resources, supplemental material, student support, tutorial resources, academic rigor and standards of behavior • YOU must highlight, summarize, motivate • YOU create a safe, non-threatening classroom environment • YOU make sure students participate and are involved in their work
- 16. The Results • YOU will discover the joy of doing what is uniquely human and more interactive, rather than simply delivering lectures. • YOU will have more time to interact personally with students, to mentor, advise, review individual work, and answer questions • YOU will learn more than ever about your subject matter and the way students learn! Tim Gunn, Fashion Consultant, Project Runway

- 18. “Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire.” William Yeats
- 19. “While they may be useful for promoting enjoyment, class discussion, attendance or attention, we caution against the use of clicker questions in isolation without implementing in-class or out-of-class strategies designed to impart deep understanding… It’s not the technology that matters, but the pedagogy.”
