What Question Types are Available in Kiddom?

We know how important it is to give teachers the flexibility to allow students to show learning in different ways. This is why Kiddom gives teachers the ability to change the type of question so students can still show their mastery. 

To change a question type on an assignable activity, you'll need to first create a personalized version. Click here to learn more about personalizing content in Kiddom. Once you've created your personalized version, you can begin to edit it. Locate the question you'd like to edit and click on the current question type. This will expand to display all the question types, organized by auto-gradable and manually graded types. Auto-gradable means Kiddom can automatically grade the question as long as the correct answers are selected, while manually graded means the teacher will need to grade the question.

Video Response

Students can press the record button to begin recording right in Kiddom as long as they have a camera on their device.

This is also a great tool for students to record themselves in small group or partner work (for all grade levels)!

Audio Response

Audio response lets students respond verbally rather than in writing!  Students will be able to use their microphone on their device, click record and produce the recording right in Kiddom.

This is great for lower elementary students, and is also a great tool for students to record themselves in small group or partner work (for all grade levels)!

Drawing

The drawing tool can be used when students need to complete an answer by drawing, labeling, or graphing.  Students can use a marker tool to draw by hand. They can also add text using the text tool or use the image button to upload an image from a file! Click here and view the video below to learn more about Drawing question types.
