Does Kahoots Incorporate either theories discussed? by Elaine Sam https://padlet.com/elaine_c_sam/jry5t6pfx5qu en-us 2017-11-20 02:02:12 UTC 2017-11-23 06:28:52 UTC hello@padlet.com I would say Kahoots applies principles of both distributed and situated learning. It is collaborative, involves a specific toolset and set of roles, it places the community at the centre of the learning as well as the quest to tune the learning. - Henna Patel el_patel https://padlet.com/elaine_c_sam/jry5t6pfx5qu/wish/209476205 2017-11-22 15:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elaine_c_sam/jry5t6pfx5qu/wish/209476205 YES, both! mrs_lnichols https://padlet.com/elaine_c_sam/jry5t6pfx5qu/wish/209562766 I agree with Heena that Kahoots host principles from both distributed and situated learning. I'd also like to add that there is a collaborative opportunity amongst educators as well since previously made Kahoots are shared within the community! GREAT tool! Never had a class that wasn't crazy for Kahoot!

It is a great review device, but a lot of people use it to answer simple multiple choice questions, which really only focuses on rote memory. I have also had students in the past complain about it, as it really empowers those with fast reflexes or quick factual recall when used as a simple review device. That being said a lot of people do use it in interesting ways, and when used sparingly as a quick thinking review device, it can be great to excite a class.

I think you can use SRS to promote distributed and situated learning, just need more thinking (although I don't have brilliant ideas myself). Maybe a debate question on a relevant real life topic, using Kahoot to group the students? Then they work in groups?
