Online Classroom Application- Kahoot!

 Hello and a very good day readers. As we learn in our previous lesson which is on Web 2.0, we learn about applications that can be used during classroom activities. From this, we were instructed to make a review of an online classroom application. One of the most interesting applications that I have decided to take a look at is Kahoot!.



Kahoot! is an online platform that uses a game-based learning system. This application is very user-friendly for both students, teachers, and etc. It is also very simple to use such as to present your slides of teaching while also quizzing your students.



One of the major perks of using Kahoot! is that it is very reliable and interactive for users. Plus, Kahoot! can be easily accessed using a web browser or by downloading its' app on your personal devices. For teachers, Kahoot! is easily said one of the best ways of interacting with the students while teaching them. Plus, the concept of game-based learning will always make it more fun to teach.


Students who learn through Kahoot! will not just learn, but also have fun at the same time. Even during online distance learning, I have tried using Kahoot! as a way to learn. It was very fun and exciting because you are able to answer quizzes and interact with friends. The idea of a quiz might be bad for some students, but honestly, Kahoot! making it better and exciting. Now think Kahoot! while having face-to-face classes, EVEN MORE FUN!. 


To get started with the application, let us try it on the web browser. First, key in Kahoot! in your search bar and click on Kahoot!.com. 



Next press the signup button. From this, you have to choose your category of work and place of work.





 After that, you are required to sign up for one of the options given and pick a plan of your choice.




From this, you could easily create new presentations, games, and quizzes based on the demo given, and enjoy.





To end this blog, I hope that this will help educators, students, or anyone who is interested in using this application. As for someone who has used Kahoot!, I will guarantee that Kahoot! will be a blast for you and your teams.

Instructional Design Models (ADDIE vs ID4T)

Image
  As we learn instructional design in our second week of class, we were required to compare two instructional design models, which is ID4T to any other model. As for me, I pick the ADDIE model as a comparison to ID4T. ADDIE The ADDIE model is one of the most famous types of model in instructional design. This model retained a five step approach, which is also much more detailed in its' subset. The five steps are Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate formed the name, ADDIE. ID4T ID4T or Instructional Design For Teachers is also a model for instructional designs. The model is split into nine processes. The creator Carr-Chellman suggests in this model for educators to be “creative with your activities/media, test your instruction, revise, do instructional design all the time”. Comparison between ID4T & ADDIE model ID4T ADDIE Nine steps ·          Setting goal ·     ...

Flipped Classroom - YouTube

Image
 Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all readers. As it has been 8 weeks of learning, there is so much that I have learned. In this week's lesson, we were tasked to write our opinion on the way or platform for the flipped classroom. The one that I have chosen is YouTube. YouTube is not something new for anyone anymore. The application is useful for anyone to use to watch videos of learning, fun, lifestyle, foods, and, etc. As a student, we mainly use YouTube as a platform for learning. Since the start of online distance learning, YouTube was one of the main platforms for lecturers to post their videos of lectures and teaching. As the video is posted on YouTube, it makes learning so much easier as some of us students have internet connection problems. By this, we are able to watch it any other time when our connection is much more stable. Aside from that, lecturers have also linked a video from YouTube itself as additional materials for us to look at. As YouTube is a massive plat...

Universal Design for Learning Classroom - Flipped Learning

Image
 Assalamualaikum and a very good day readers. Currently, right now I am writing on week 9 of our lesson. For this week, we learned on UDL or Universal Design for Learning, where this topic focuses on the flexibility of learning for all various needs of students. In my personal teaching approach for my classroom, I would prefer to use flipped learning to ease my students. As mathematics would not be the easiest for all students, I think that applying flipped learning will let students feel much easier at learning this subject. This is because flipped learning allows students to read and understand a certain topic first before attending class. Hence, allowing them to be prepared for what we would learn during class. In addition, letting students read on a certain topic first, will allow teachers to know which topics or chapters that is the hardest for them. By that, teachers could focus more on certain topics with the students, thus, helping each of the students to understand that to...
