There are several issues when creating your own Kahoot. Image sizes are not standardized. If you create an image, it may become unclear or too small when on the Kahoot site. There are also other ways you can use images to create better Kahoot questions. This section will explore these things.

A quick introduction to how to create your first quiz and the different components that make up this process.

A look at the best sizes to use for your images and an explanation of how I came up with this data. This file can be downloaded from the download hub in Section 2.

Produce an ideal JPG with Photoshop.

Produce and ideal PNG with Photoshop. PNG's allow us to create transparent images.

Learn how to create changing images with GIFs.

Learn how to create words that seem to change with GIFs. Remember, if you want to replace letters with spaces or  underscores, use font styles that are fixed-length and no kerning. Here is a list:

• BatangChe
• Consolas

Just adding text without additional media -- for the sake of completeness!

This overlaps a bit with the last section on homework. You can have your students participate by creating their own Kahoot media. Images, questions, videos. Their level of participation and creativity is up to you. Feel free to design the overall structure of the Kahoot and ask the student to create a specific media type that can be added to it.

What is the ideal length for questions and Kahoots? Well, this depends on your students. Test it out. If a question is too long, the student is going to loose interest. If it is too hard, cheating becomes a "better" game-playing strategy. If it the time is too fast, and they can't figure it out in time, they are going to give up and may not even try the next one.

We are going to be utilizing the way the mind works to teach the students in a way that will promote long term learning. We'll also explore ways to ask questions which the student can use deductive reasoning or information learned in-game to figure out the answer.

It is better to learn over gradual periods of time than it is to cram.

The timing in Kahoot doesn't match perfectly with Pimsleur's study. Teachers all have their own style and subject, so question timings will be different. In general, adapt this model to the flow which best suits your needs.

We want to introduce new topics through Kahoot. In order to do that in this setting, we need baby steps that are fun and force semantic processing.

You've spent hours creating your intuitive Kahoot. Now what? Certainly, you will be able to use it next semester or next year, but don't shelve it just yet. Let us explore different ways we can utilize the data and questions created.

Kahoot gives us a detailed XLS document every time we play a Kahoot. Let us explore it!

Let's take a look at the data and push it together, creating a visual way to easily see what is going on with the student's and their answers. We can readily decipher problematic areas.

Explanation as to how to take the results form a question and graph it.

Parsing the raw data and making it more readable.

Using FireShot to create a PDF or image file of your Kahoot, letting this become a review, a quiz, or something else.

We have files and links to share, but how do we do it? We got dozens of Kahoot's with tests, results, reviews, images, and more, but how can we organize it all while communicate this to the students? This video explore different applications and how you can best utilize them together.
