Score without being the fastest
I would like to request a Game Options feature where the teacher can turn off how the scoring is done currently and make it so that kids get points based on correct answers only. I teach math and some students think slower than others. This can make playing Kahoot unfair for them when they don't answer as fast as other students which can deflate their confidence. Many times, these students are making correct choices, but needed a little extra time to get the answers. As teachers, we should be able adjust the game based on this if we want.
Thanks for reading.
Kindest Regards,
Brigitte Donlon

Yes!!!! Please do this Kahoot. I would love to use your service all the time, probably once a week on average, but I just don’t want my kids trying to answer quickly instead of reading the question and answers carefully. I’ll be student teaching honors English next semester, and those kids will be answering high level questions about the things they’re reading. Incentivizing them to rush will not teach the skills I’m trying to build as we prepare for the AP test. This is the most important thing kahoot needs to change. Please let teachers manipulate how scores are calculated.

Totally agree. +1 here.

Me too! It's discouraging for those that are also doing well but might not be the fastest. Let us turn it off, or have the ability to edit who goes up on the screen after each question. I want to give a shout out to everyone that is playing at least once.

Any update on this?

This would still be very helpful!

It used to exist, where is it now?
