Today I created the Kahoot quiz for Session 4.

Using the software Paint, I created the above quiz logo by adding text to a numbers picture (Google, 2016).  This I found quite enjoyable, as I have never used Paint for this sort of task before.

I have previously used these fun numbers, in my presentation (05/12/16) and in ‘Little 1’s Counting Adventure Story’ (Session 1 activity), as their characterful appearance is bright, colourful and friendly.  I feel they are quite enjoyable to interact with and could possibly make a counting task seem less daunting.

Questions from 1 to 11, have been set for 60 seconds for each question.  I chose this shorter time-frame rather than the longest time-frame, for my lecturer so she would have a quicker and easier viewing.  When implementing this e-resource into my classroom, I will adjust the question timings dependent on my class pupils.

I enjoyed creating this Kahoot quiz, using pictures taken from session 1 activity, ‘Little 1’s Counting Adventure Story.’

I used the same images for this quiz, as I felt the images would be friendly and memorable from a positive prior experience.  As this quiz is an independent activity, having had a positive experience with these questions, could further encourage independence as they will have more confidence with the images used, and having previously interacted with these characters and questions previously in a group activity.

Progression could include:

• questions up to number 20
• Subtraction sums
• questions that are out of number order
• reducing the time-frame for answering each question

At the end of creating this activity, the challenge I had was with sharing the resource onto this blog and the e-resources page.  Having previously used Kahoot only once before, I didn’t realise that it was difficult to re-access the quiz.  Until the last class of this module (week 20) other students in my class had been using it for their e-resource activities and had experienced access difficulties.

Having created the quiz now and looking to add it to my blog here, I have found it difficult to get a pin code for external use (other than myself).  I have emailed my lecturer and a fellow student for advice.
