Nine out of ten teachers say they use Kahoot! for review and revision of topics taught in the classroom, according to a recent Kahoot! survey of 580 U.S. teachers. Reinforcement of topics with Kahoot! has proven to be more effective compared to traditional teaching methods, survey results found. Nearly a quarter of the teachers surveyed said they would play Kahoot! more often if kahoots could be assigned as homework.
"Teachers and students love playing Kahoot! and don't want to stop when the bell rings," says Erik Harrell, CEO, Kahoot! "With our brand new app, we facilitate a continuous learning loop, letting students play the challenges wherever they are. Kahoot! makes learning awesome - and now homework, too! We are excited to launch the final version of the app for the new school year in a few months."
The new mobile app will appeal to teachers who can extend learning beyond the classroom by challenging students -- either from the Kahoot! platform on their computers or in the app -- to play a kahoot at home on their own time, either alone or with other students. The mobile app will also cater to a growing number of students who are increasingly spending time on their mobile devices giving them the opportunity for revision, reinforcement and, of course, fun outside the classroom.
Some of the key features of the app are:
Attendees at ISTE, one of the largest conferences focused on EdTech, will be able to try and learn more about the app at the Kahoot! booth, located at #326. When launched later in Fall 2017, the new Kahoot! app will be available for both iOS and Android.
