TMGegSyd Kahoot Feedback

4/30/2015

On Wednesday April 29th, over 100 teachers converged on the Google Buildings in Pyrmont for #TMgegsyd! What exactly is #TMgegsyd?! The 'TM' part stands for 'Teach Meet', an informal professional development experience where educators share quick ideas with others. The 'gegyyd' part stands for 'Google Educator Group Sydney'. This is a group of teachers from Sydney who share a love of Google and it's million and one uses in education!

I presented a 7 minute session on Kahoot! Instead of having a bunch of slides that explains what Kahoot is and how it works, I decided to put together a quiz with 20 questions to show how it all works! The questions started off about general popular culture to get people into the game and then the questions were revolved around how Kahoot works. We had over 100 players - the most I have ever had - all educators of some description. The excitement of the game led to people standing on chairs, cheering and carrying on - just like a class of excited kids - the perfect demonstration of the power of Kahoot!

Since the session ended I have received some great feedback from teachers who enjoyed the session and have used Kahoot in their classrooms already. I grabbed a handful of tweets using the 'Twitter Curator' Add-on in Google Docs - always nice to keep these things for those days where you think that nothing is going right!!!

Thanks for the intro to Kahoot and for this reflection. My lesson today went really despite a mixup on my part but I too will do a reflection and explain.
