Reflection on Artifact #1 - Kahoot! Game

As I think about this artifact that I have created and the powerful tool it can be used as, I can't help but think about the importance it has in an online setting, as well as a face-to-face setting. I enjoyed creating this artifact for our class because it reminded me about the importance of assessing learning, as well as the importance of having fun in the classroom. Often times, we feel that education isn't meant to be fun, or can't be fun. However; with rediscovering the Kahoot! assessment tool, I have remembered the love for it. I also learned that there are many different types of Kahoot! templates, and you can actually utilize Kahoot! for instruction, instead of assessment; which is one thing I definitely plan to utilize in the future. The tools that are at your disposal when utilizing Kahoot! are limitless. As much as I enjoyed creating Kahoot! games for my students, I know for a fact that my students enjoyed playing them even more. When I was creating my nutrition Kahoot! for class, I also discovered the ability to import pictures into the Kahoot! questions themselves. I always saw other Kahoot! games that had pictures for questions, but I never really knew how to do it. Upon completing the nutrition Kahoot! I know now how. This artifact has reiterated the importance of making sure my students have fun while they learn; and if I can keep creating useful Kahoot! games that will be a fair assessment of my student's level of information retained, I will continue to do just that.
