My Take
Kahoot is a brilliant platform for students, especially when reviewing a lesson learned or studying for a test. It essentially is an interactive group study session, where teachers and educators can personalize their own Kahoots to fit into their lesson plans. It's free, easy-to-use, and kids love it! As a middle schooler, we were introduced to Kahoot and I still think it's one of the best ways to review for a test in a fun, stress-free way--giving kids the opportunity to apply what they learned in a competitive game.
How I Use It
I would use Kahoots before any test or quiz, or even simply after a particular lesson to ensure my students understand what I'm teaching them.

Not very helpfull without pro version
It is a good learning tool, very intuitive and easy to use. On the other hand, they constantly decrease the character limit or functionalities for free users. Overall, the app is not so financially inclusive for lower income students. Have a nice day

Engaging, interactive review
Kahoot! helps student practice fast-paced recall as they race to be the first to answer correctly, giving them points and pushing them higher up on the leaderboard. Kahoot! also forces teachers to manually move on to the next question, giving them a chance to discuss the question and/or take student questions. Additionally, Kahoot!'s leaderboard displays the top 5 players after each question, but does not expose the positions of students lower, and even provides an anonymous player option if teachers wish to use this feature. Kahoot! consistently provides an engaging form of learning and review for students.

Fun Review for Students!!!
I believe this resource is a great way to assist students in their learning. As a student, I would be incredibly happy when a teacher would introduce Kahoot to the class. The overall format and consistent updates the website has are very productive. Additionally, as a teacher, this would be helpful in discovering where your students stand. Also, it provides students with a guide of what to focus on for the next exam. The only potential downside to this website is the public competition. I believe they removed this feature, but there was a point in time where if one obtained an incorrect answer, the screen of their device would light up red. This felt embarrassing and at times made me want to opt out of the next game. Kahoot offers ranks for each student as well, which can add to the anxiety one may feel. What I like as a student and would appreciate if I were a teacher is how an individual has the ability to create their own assessment or utilize one that already exists.
