How to use Blooket Live 2024: Complete Beginner's Tutorial for Teachers

[@teatime8842]

Hi Russell, great tool which I hadn't seen before - thanks! It would be great if you could go through what each of the games does in another video. That would save teachers a lot of time and would help us choose which one would be pedagogically relevant to the class or the group of students! Thanks again for all your work exploring tech on our behalf - invaluable! Tilly

Thanks, Tilly! I'm glad you found it helpful. Great idea! I’ll definitely consider doing a video breaking down each game and its educational benefits to help with class planning. Appreciate your support and suggestion! 😊

Hi Russel, great idea. I would like to use it as homework. I mean I would like to have it the google classroom. It has the option homework, I am going to explore it.

[@ttvRussell]

Thanks! Yes, Blooket has a homework option, and integrating it with Google Classroom is a great idea! It’s an easy way to assign fun, interactive homework. Let me know how it goes, and feel free to ask if you need any help exploring it! 😊

Hello. Thank you for the video. I just have one question. Is it possible to edit an already made Blooket for free or do you need to upgrade to delete certain questions?

[@ttvRussell]

You're welcome! 😊 Yes, you can edit an existing Blooket for free by duplicating it to your account first. This lets you make changes, like deleting questions, without needing to upgrade. Hope that helps!

Thank you for this tutorial. I love using Blooket. Question though, when assigning as homework what does the Day Goal feature mean?

[@ttvRussell]

You're welcome! The "Day Goal" feature in Blooket lets you set a target number of questions for students to complete each day. It's useful if you want to encourage daily practice.

Did you cheat against Tom by any chance....? Interesting, bit like Kahoot but I doubt I could do this with my two, 65+ pensioners' classes. Bit beyond them. They've probably never done anything like this, ever! Thanks for the low-down. Best wishes, Alison

[@ttvRussell]

No cheating against Tom, I promise! 😊 Blooket is similar to Kahoot, but I understand your concern with a 65+ class. You could start slow with simpler games and see how they adapt-it might surprise you! Thanks for watching, Alison, and best wishes to you and your class!

[@wingertstrasse1]

@@ttvRussell True - one can always be surprised! We'll see, and many thanks.

Just use the basic games like racing, classic, or fishing frenzy. I teach 1st grade sped and they catch on and love it! Older folks could definitely learn those simple games and have a great time!
