Quick Guide to Gimkit
Here you will find basic guidance and links on how to use Gimkit for teaching, training, learning and development.
Gimkit is a gamified live engagement tool for use in classrooms or for remote learning: There are 3 elements to Gimkit
- Students answer questions on their own device at their own pace. Throughout a Kit, each student will get exposure to the questions multiple times to ensure mastery.
- Students earn in-game cash by answering questions correctly.
- Students can reinvest their money by purchasing upgrades & powerups. With over 2.5 million combinations, students can make purchases that suit their strengths.
Gimkit is therefore an alternative to Kahoot and Quizlet Live as this video shows
