Kahoot

Kahoot is an online game-based platform where students can demonstrate their knowledge or thinking of a concept by participating in quizzes, discussions, or surveys.  According to Kahoot, 
the Discussion, Quiz and Survey are intended for slightly different pedagogical application. The Quiz is the most commonly used format, it includes timed responses and a points system creating a competitive atmosphere. The survey is similar but does not use points. This means it can be used for feedback or finding out what a class knows without the competition. A Discussion is a single question, without the competitive elements. This can be used to ignite discussion, at the beginning of a session. For example, you could ask a question such as 'I believe that women are biologically more suited to looking after children'. The responses will then appear at the front, which could ignite debate.

Teachers can set up the activity and have students participate by using available technology in the classroom.  There is no cost associated with Kahoot and you can find more information at https://getkahoot.com/
