Introducing new material can get dull at times, and I was in that very situation when teaching DNA Structure to my Human Genetics class. Luckily, just weeks before I had stumbled on the idea of Blind Kahoot!'ing. In a blind Kahoot!, you ask "blind" questions that you know students won't know (or should't know) the answer to. You give them plenty of time to struggle with the question (either in teams or individually) and then discuss the right answer and why the other choices were not correct. This creates a great opportunity to learn from wrong answers and then reinforce with follow up questions to deepen the understanding. Here is a simple template designed by Stephanie Castle, who coined the idea "Blind Kahoot!". Check out her video on "The Art of Blind Kahoot!'ing."
