2. Kahoot
Kahoot! is a free game-based learning platform, as educational technology. Launched in August
2013 from Norway, Kahoot! is now played by over 50 million people in 180 countries. Designed
to be accessible to classrooms and other learning environments worldwide, Kahoot!’s learning
games (“kahoots”) can be created by anyone, for any subject and for learners of any age.

4. Advantage
Kahoot! Can be used for formative assessment, to monitor each student’s
progress towards learning objectives, identify strengths and weaknesses, and to
identify areas where the students would benefit from more one-to-one
teaching, more challenging learning opportunities, or a review of foundational
knowledge for that subject. More experienced users also integrate kahoots into
their curriculum to introduce new topics, increase retention of new facts, revise
prior to exams, challenge classrooms around the world, survey opinions, gather
insights, facilitate discussion, or to reward and re-energize learners. The majority
of Kahoot!’s users are students and teachers in K-12 classrooms, with growing
numbers across colleges and universities and post-graduate education.
Businesses also use Kahoot! for workplace training and staff inductions.

5. Devices
Influenced by the "bring your own device" trend, Kahoot! aims to support a wide range of web
browsers and mobile devices through its web interface, including Android 4.0 or later and all
modern web browsers. There is also a native application for Android available, and according to
Kahoot! apps for other platforms are planned but not the top priority. There is also an
application for iOS.

6. Gradebook
Gradebook is a teacher's online record of their students' lessons, assignments, progress and
grades. An electronic grade book interfaces with a student information system which houses a
school district's student records including grades, attendance medical records, transcripts,
student schedules and other data. Some electronic grade books make grades, homework and
student schedules available online to parents and students.

8. Planbook
Planbook is a teacher's detailed description of the course of instruction, or 'learning trajectory'
for a lesson. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class learning. Details will
vary depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being covered, and the needs of the
students.
