#Kahoot #STEM

Got to chat w/ @KahootSteph at their office in London. It was 5:30pm there, so we got to say hi to the Kahoot Founders & engineers as they were leaving work for the day. Really amazing to see the TEAM behind this great product!

We played a Kahoot! asking us some London Trivia. 

We learned the currency there is called the "Pound", the queen is "Elizabeth" and the big clock tower is NOT the Tower of London, but is called "BIG BEN" after the Bell inside. 

A big Thank you to Steph for being such a terrific tour guide! 

Steph talked to us about the importance of Coding and how its important to learn this skill if you want to create a cool app like Kahoot. The founders wanted to #MakeLearningAwesome and they have succeeded! 

We have loved having Kahoot in our classroom this year. It has been such a great constant formative assessment. It really helped cement them learning the associative, distributive, and commutative properties in Math, Jumbles for spelling, Battle of the book novel reviews... Really can be used for anything!

This chat was a great look behind the scenes and helped the kids understand that websites/games are made by people and if they want to, they can learn how to do it too!
