Tapping into Both Sides of your Brain!




            This semester my professor introduced us to a study game called KAHOOT. If you have not heard of Kahoot (like myself), I strongly recommend becoming a member. This was a great interactive way to get us all excited and involved in studying and the prize (chocolate!!!!). Not to mention it taps into both sides of the brain, which will only help to further learn the information better. We played two games of Kahoot in class, one primarily on Aphasia and the other on TBI. My professor even posted them to Blackboard prior to the exam so we could study on our own. This was a HUGE HELP. Especially with the Aphasia’s, because there are so many to remember. My only regret is that we didn’t learn this sooner in grad school.

How does Kahoot Work?
  • You make up the questions by  creating a new game
  • When you are ready to play, click start
  • With your phone or iPad go to Kahoot.com or download the app
  • Input the game code
  • Make up a name for yourself
  • Click join
  • Then you are on your way
  • A question will appear on the computer screen, you will then use your phone to respond. BE CAREFUL though, because you have to select the correct response and there are different colors and symbols in the choices.

Here are some examples from our game!






I would love to hear if you have any Study tips or Apps, comment below and let me know! Thanks for reading =)
