☒ Yes
☐ No
Why or why not?
Yes, this will be so students can gain insight in what the correct answer was to know the accurate
information and reasoning behind the question content.
Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity?

Students will ask questions and try to get classification on the different questions that were presented during
the activity. Students could also do a ticket out the door that involves writing out three things they learned
during the Kahoot! Activity.
How will the data be used?
Some data that could be collected from the students are how many students are meeting the standards and
objectives that are presented in the lesson. Another way data could be used would be through, the audience
will be able to view students’ observations and facts about the content that was learned. Teachers will be
able to assist children who many have missed many questions or be able to tell which information should be
reviewed while the activity is being presented.

Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.

From this activity, I want for my students to be able to enjoy engaging and collaboration throughout the
activity by learning teamwork and be able to find common ideas for the solution. I would also like this so that
the students can understand the content and learn it in a way for them to interact with answering questions.
I want to get the students out their comfort box and allow them to enjoy the learning experience, while
learning new content through challenging questions.

This activity can help impact student learning by allowing for the students to understand and remember
information. This also is a great way for the teacher to gain insight on student’s progress on the
comprehension of the content. To further this activity to higher thinking, students can create a Kahoot!
activity with other students in the classroom to complete. The students can create different sets of questions
and settings that would allow further thinking. Students can be also asked to apply thinking and analyzing
skills through free response questions and more.
