Kahoot

In Mark’s first lesson, we played a game of Kahoot. This helped to break the ice between ourselves and the new lecturer. I felt as though it was a very good way to start off a new semester as everyone was included, and we had a good competition between us. Although some people weren’t doing as well, it was good when we cheered them on when they did finally get a question right. Even though it was a long quiz, Mark was very informative in telling us why the logo matched the name, and why it couldn’t have been the other options. This increased my interest in the rest of the game as I was interested in finding out the background information of the logos. One aspect I especially thought was good, was that Mark had already got some information on each of us. This meant that he knew most of our names even if we had only met once or twice. He also knew some of the meanings behind our names, for example, he knew that Sidra meant stars. He has also had a very funny nature which helps ease us all into this class. I especially liked the fact that he knew my name Aysha, was after the Prophet’s wife. This shows how he has researched, and it made me feel quite happy that he knew, as people outside of my religion wouldn’t necessarily know this.

I also created my own Kahoot at home. I was quite excited to make it because I did it on a topic that I enjoy- Harry Potter. I found it quite easy to create my own quiz on Kahoot and didn’t face any difficulties. When we did try to do it as a class, the MAC computers were very slow therefore we didn’t manage to get past the 2^nd question.
