Cons of Kahoot

There are very few cons about the app and game Kahoot, here are some listed below

  • One answer:
    • The one issue with Kahoot is that there can only be one answer for multiple-choice questions and true or false questions. This can be difficult when creating a Kahoot because there could be more than one answer to the multiple-choice question. There are options to do an open-ended question in Kahoot. 
  • Technology issues:
    • There are some problems that can happen when playing Kahoot in your classroom, depending on the school you’re working at they might now have enough or any tablets or computers available for the students to use. There can also be an issue with wifi if the school has bad wifi the connection can create a problem when doing the quiz, that some students devices might lag and this makes it unfair 
  • Usernames:
    • This causes an issue because students can create their own usernames which can lead to inappropriate names that are displayed for the whole class to see. 
  • Speed:
    • Kahoot is all about getting points and the way to get points for answering correctly is how fast you answer the question. This is not always the best way to get students engaged.
