in'doing'this'activity'is'to'gain'more'familiarity,'comfortability'and'ease'in'creating'these'quizzes'for'my'class'
so'that'I'can'do'these'activities'more'frequently.'My'hopes'are'that'my'students'will'learn'what'they'

Kahoot!'activities'in'order'to'further'quiz'them'on'the'material,'or'create'more'Kahoot!'activities'so'they'can'
learn'the'material'better.'Students'could'even'be'given'the'opportunity'to'come'up'with'their'own'questions'
to'add'to'the'Kahoot!'quiz'so'that'the'whole'class'could'be'tested'on'it.'This'gives'students'another'creative'
