Kahoot!
Kahoot is a great website to get students engaged in learning. Kahoot is a game-based learning tool that quizzes student knowledge on a topic. Students are gathered around a shared screen such a smart board, projector or a computer monitor. Individual students will have a device that will have the answer choices in the form of colored shapes. Teachers can award points for answers or use it as a study tool. If awarded points, they will come up on the screen after each question.You can set the amount of points, amount of time students have per question and whether or not you want points to be given.
Teachers can create their own quiz or search from the thousands of quizzes available. They have a ton of different categories based on grade and subject. Students are highly engaged through out and its a great way to assess students after a lesson.
Kahoot can be used as a studying tool, informal or formal assessment, exit ticket or just a quick fun review. Teachers would need to create an account and once you have your quiz set all you need to do is have students put in the game code (which is different for each quiz) and they get to choose their nicknames or put in their actual names. After all the students are in you may begin.

Kahoot! This is such an amazing incorporation of technology! ...This allows for review, exit tickets, introduction of topics, etc. My Kindergarteners love using this application and it can even be used on iPads!
