Using Quiz apps like Kahoot
The basic structure of a Blind kahoot:
-
Introduce the game to let learners know what to expect, and that it's about learning, not about getting all of the answers right the first time.
-
Use a "Blind" question (a question about something completely new to them) to spark curiosity, so learners are more receptive to the explanation.
-
Explain the answer
-
Reinforce using a series of questions focused solely on what they have just learned
-
Another Blind question prompts learners to actively listen to the explanation - this is a great opportunity to teach subtleties, exceptions to the rule or to build on what they have just learned
-
Reinforce with another series of questions solely about the most recent Blind question
-
Now use Compound Reinforcement to help learners consolidate everything they have learned in the whole kahoot
