I have always loved to play Kahoot games and quizzes back in school. I remember playing them back in high school and throughout my undergrad. I love how diverse it can be and the fact that it can be very anonymous depending on the name the players create. because it can be anonymous. It creates a more competitive atmosphere, which relatively becomes more fun since it’s also a mystery. Although I have always used Kahoot as a player, I have never actually created a profile or even a quiz. Through this mini tutorial, I will be able to show you how to access Kahoot and make your own.
