3. Kahoot types
The Quiz is the most commonly used format, it includes timed
responses and a points system creating a competitive
atmosphere.
The survey is similar but does not use points. This means it can
be used for feedback or finding out what a class knows without
the competition.
A Discussion is a single question, without the competitive
elements. This can be used to ignite discussion, at the beginning
of a session. For example, you could ask a question such as 'I
believe that women are biologically more suited to looking after
children'. The responses will then appear at the front, which
could ignite debate.
