Just as a follow up to a recent staff meeting I presented on Kahootz I have put together a brief summary of what was covered.
1. Kahootz 3 very easy to use, much better usability that its predecessor, Kahootz 2
2. To start chn learning skills required to create projects in Kahootz go to the teacher resources section of the Kahootz website. http://www.kahootz.com/kz/template/home%2CResources_intro_k3.vm Here you will find Step by Step instructions that teach the chn the skills and functions of Kahootz. This resource is a perfect inclusion in your classroom reading program.
3. Once chn have worked there way through these activities they should be at a point where they can start to think about some of their own creations. To further support Kahootz skill development use the following resource (again your Reading program is a great opportunity to facilitate this) http://www.kahootz.com/kz/template/home%2CActivities.vm?navitem=common%2Factivities
4. The next step would be using Kahootz to create presentation from beginning to end. Again the Kahootz website provides some excellent resources in facilitating this.
Good luck. I would love to hear about feedback of other experiences using Kahootz 3 in the classroom
