Many teachers and students at CVU use Quizlet to create online flash cards. Quizlet has now introduced Quizlet Live, which uses card sets to create games where teams of students compete against one another. I haven't tried it myself yet, but it sounds similar to the functionality of Kahoot.
So, if you already use Quizlet, why not give Quizlet Live a try?

PollEverywhere now embeds in Google Slides
There are lots of good tools out there for assessing and getting instant student/audience feedback via technology, but PollEverywhere has been around (probably) the longest. They just announced today that you can now embed the results of a "poll" into a Google Slides presentation. It's still in "Labs," but worth checking out. Good to know, as we use Slides more and more in place Powerpoint.
Here's a how-to:
Gathering audience feedback directly from Google Slides from Poll Everywhere on Vimeo.

Socrative student response system
I've written before about PollEverywhere, which allows students to use their phones (or any internet-
connected device) to answer questions (and allows the teacher to see the results immediately--and display them, if desired). This type of student response system is excellent for doing a quick check-in for understanding, taking a poll, or posting students' text responses to the screen.
There's another app out there that is geared more towards the educational setting. It's called Socrative. You can use it for "on the fly" type of questioning, quizzes including different types of questions, or exit tickets. We saw it in action on a recent visit to Burlington HS. The teacher was looking at the results in real-time on his iPad as students worked their way through a formative assessment he had created. This is definitely worth trying. It is free (for now, at least).
I'd be happy to help you get started!
