Kahoot: Let's Enjoy Learning

Who knew that learning could be fun and much engaging even if it is through online, before they meet with Kahoot ! 

Before I checked out Kahoot, I always awed that how learning could be fun specially for the young learners, especially when it is time to test some of their learning. Kahoot is basically a video game (online) where you can have access to the vast area of knowledge. You can collect as much knowledge as you want by playing games. You can play games from any device with internet connection from anywhere despite of having any background. Although as the term learning and teaching is much associated with learner and teacher, Kahoot has function for business people as well. You can design training and plan connecting your business network worldwide through Kahoot. In this website you basically can take part or can place 'Quiz' on different topics. If you are a teacher then you can take it to make quiz for your particular target students based on your topic. For using Kahoot you need to sign up to the site as per your role such as a teacher, a students, or a business person. After creating your account, you need to log in to your account before you place your first quiz. For attending different quizes you can visit https://kahoot.it/ where you  can play quiz using a game pin provided by the host of the game. Besides, a host can share his/her game in both ways either a live or a challenge.

The best thing in the Kahoot is that it is a colorful website that attracts anyone easily, specially the young learners. Besides, the operating of this game is very much easy and accessible. As stated earlier Kahoot has a vast area of coverage in terms of inspiring learning. Therefore, it is worthy to promote the use of Kahoot in all of its possible sector. A corporate person can easily use this game to have fun with his/ her colleagues and to burnish his knowledge. This site can be also used for providing training, presenting meeting, and creating any event. for using Kahoot at work you need to sign up with a business account. Kahoot has also newly launched Kahoot Academy (K!Academy) where you can apply to become a verified educator. With this platform K! Academy, you can have your own network to teach & to share content. This place allows educators to create a network with other educators and learners world wide. So far, I have only talked about the educators, the way they would be benefited from this game. Although mostly the learners are the target community of such game, they can use the platform to have a positive competition between their friends/ classmates. They can choose their own topics to create a league and can have the battle together to get the award. This will doubtlessly help flourishing their learning. Kahoot helps learner at home to challenge themself as well as to challenge their friends.

Although Kahoot has plenty of positive impact on a large number of people, it is not an adequate site to take for granted. This game requires internet connection which can be considered as a serious concern for the developing or under developing countries. Besides, the game is not designed as per any target learner's level. Therefore, some of the Kahoot content may not be appropriate for a particular age group of learners. This can be a discouraging to the incompetent or early learners. However, as Kahoot has a large coverage of content around the world, we cannot blame this site for shortage of content. Yet, my point is classifying the content according to age group for quality learning which Kahoot lacks of. Additionally, as stated earlier, internet recommendation is really a durable concern of Kahoot users. However, if age is the concern then for kids and their safe learning we can introduce studycat: Learn English for kids which can be played offline. For learning vocabulary easy to hard anyone can easily get Word Legend Puzzle - Addictive Cross Word Connect which is a brainstorming game. In addition to this games, LearnEnglish Grammar (UK edition) by British Council is also a good site to play for learning grammar.

Kahoot can have its best used with its ELT educators/ learners. Kahoot has a large coverage on the content from where a ELT practitioner or learner can have access to a substantial number of English Language Arts game. Besides, to teach grammar in deductive way a language teacher can use this game to create/modify own Kahoot game. The variation of a quiz that can be created by the ELT educator is not only helps learner to keep patience but also keep pace of the learning. English language has a wide reaching vocabulary which can be best enhance by Kahoot game. To teach English vocabulary to the young learners using Kahoot could be the best idea as Kahoot has an option of adding visuals to each questions. Language learning is never ever an interesting or an easy step. Therefore, when this learning could be fun, a learner would feel highly motivated to learn. The eye catchy look of Kahoot helps to grave learners attention for a longer time which an ELT educator can take into account. Additionally, as already stated that Kahoot enhance self- learning, a learner can take his own initiative to take part in different quizzes which are already assigned in the game to learn English beyond the classroom.

Despite there are many other sources to learn, enhance, and practice your knowledge on different contents, Kahoot is really an amazing game which has put all its eggs in a basket. No best thing is free of its shortage, therefore, if we pass over without giving due attention to its shortage, we can see this site is really helpful to promote learning. Besides, the first look of this game is very much attractive and the manifestation is easier than many other language games. Additionally, as it connects a large number of people from different background, a philomath would highly be benefited from this game. Sometimes a traditional learning system makes the learning process sloth and boring. Therefore, it is important to bring colors to the world of knowledge. To do so, Kahoot can be highly recommended to the potential users. In fact, in today's pandemic situation, when education sectors are notable sufferer, adding fun to this education can lower the sufferings. Especially, to the young learners and to the adolescence learners, this game is necessarily should be introduced so that they can have a refreshing mind and can seize their learning. Yet, nothing should be exaggerated which could cause harm.
