Getting started
You can start with Kahoot! for schools on your own and invite other teachers now or later, or get on board together with your team right away. You can also continue using the free version as an individual teacher and upgrade to Kahoot! for schools anytime in the future. The choice is yours! :)

I am an officer of my high school student council and we were planning on doing a school-wide Kahoot for our students this Wednesday, but now I am concerned about if we will be able to support the numbers. I looked through the article but still don't understand how these new changes work for a student account. Will I be able to use my account to host larger than a class size as a student? These new changes are extremely concerning to me and I cannot figure it out
