them an idea of how engaging the game can be.

Analysis and Summary of Audience Assessment
Directions: Record assessment data into Assessment Data Table (see end of document). Include copies of assessment tool with submission. Include at least one graph in your summary.
There was no Assessment Data Table at the end of this document so I will add my data here.

My data concludes that my colleagues are confident and will utilize Kahoot sometime this trimester. They felt the presentation was
satisfactory and clear to understand. I went step-by-step on how to create a Kahoot game so that my colleagues can foster a more
engaging environment in their classrooms.

Action Items (some may not be applicable)
Continue to incorporate engaging games and resources to keep variety and to clear out
complacency. Lesson Planning: every unit incorporate a Kahoot game for cumulative review.
Use assessment data to inform instruction and reach out via phone and email to students
struggling for one-on-one academic support.
Classroom Practice: keeping students engaged and checking frequently for understanding.
Examples: (Press the Raised Hand tool when you have finished reading the text. Enter a period
in the chat if you’re still thinking. Answer the question with A, B, C or D in the private chat.
Circle an emoji that displays how you’re feeling about the content so far.)
Continue to use lots of visuals with my resources. Kahoot is a great resource for ELL learners
because it is clear and concise. Not too much text. Students with Special Needs are encouraged
to participate to the best of their ability with clear directions.
Attend conferences (in-person and virtual) that my school offers. They offer a wide variety for
different aspects of professional development. I don’t usually attend these but after taking this
course, I am more intrigued to sharpen my teacher leader skills.
Sharing my findings and resources/activities I use with my colleagues. I work closely with
another colleague who teaches the same subject I do. We often share information and
activities.
