It did not go as planned. The tablets provided were not functioning properly in order to access the Kahoot app. Carielle and I had to improvise. We decided we would use whiteboards and dry erase markers instead and ask the question orally to the students. It seemed to go smoothly for the most part. I wish the tablets had worked because we would have gotten through our pre-assessment quicker and we would have had less off task behavior. As I have learned in life, but definitely in teaching it is always good to have a back up plan.
I could appreciate how you felt during the teaching when the Kahoots technology that you had planned did not work out as you had hoped it would. Being prepared with a back-up plan is the art of being a teacher. As teachers it goes without saying we will have to be improvisers and quick on our feet to have the lesson continue and not lose valuable time. I applaud both you and coteacher in adjusting as you needed to in order to do the assessments that you need to do with your students during the instructional lessons. Well done!
