9. BRIEF OVERVIEW OF KAHOOT
PLATFORM
• Kahoot is an online learning platform that uses quizzes,
games, and surveys to make learning more engaging and
interactive. It is widely used by educators to engage pupils
in classes, whether in person or online. Kahoot allows
teachers to design their own interactive quizzes or select
from a library of pre-made games on a variety of topics.
Students can participate in these activities using their
smartphones, tablets, or computers, making them
accessible and interesting for learners of any age.
10. BENEFITS OF USING KAHOOT IN
EDUCATION

and engagement among students. When classes are engaging and
dynamic, students are more likely to participate fully.
2. Active Learning: By requiring students to respond to questions and
work through challenges instantly, Kahoot encourages active
learning. This practical method improves comprehension and memory
of the course information.
3. Instant Feedback: Kahoot gives teachers instant feedback on
students' answers, enabling them to evaluate comprehension and
correct mistakes in the moment. This makes each student's
educational experience more unique.

11. BENEFITS OF USING POWER POINTS
IN THE CLASSROOM
• PowerPoint offers several benefits to teachers:
• 1Enhanced Visuals: PowerPoint allows teachers to incorporate visuals such
as images, graphs, and diagrams into their presentations, making lessons
more engaging and easier to understand for students.
• 2.Organization: PowerPoint helps teachers organize their lesson content
into slides, making it easier to structure and present information in a
logical sequence.
• 3.Interactive Elements: Teachers can add interactive elements such as
hyperlinks, videos, and audio clips to their PowerPoint presentations,
which can enhance student engagement and participation.
12. REFLECTION ON TEACHING AND
LEARNING
• Teaching must include unique instructional
strategies: Educators must respond to students'
unique learning styles and preferences by using a
range of teaching methods. Lectures, group
activities, hands-on experiences, and multimedia
presentations are all possible options.•
• Teacher must be flexible and adaptable to
accommodate changes in the classroom and
meet students' diverse needs.
13. REFLECTION ON ASSESSMENT
1. Methods for guiding students' learning journeys: Assessment should not
only test students' knowledge and skills, but also direct their learning path.
This entails creating evaluations that encourage critical thinking, problem
solving, and self-reflection, allowing students to take control of their
learning. Continuous improvement through assessment: The use of Kahoot
and Power Point would be great for teacher to achieve this.
2. Assessment should be considered as an ongoing activity that promotes
student growth and improvement over time. Teachers should use
assessment data to identify areas for growth, modify instructional tactics,
and provide tailored assistance to help students achieve.
