Now I would like to give small introduction about Kahoot!

According to Kahoot.it 

Kahoot! is a free game-based learning platform that makes it fun to learn – any subject, in any language, on any device, for all ages!

According to Wikipedia

Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform, used as educational technology in classrooms and other learning environments. Its learning games ("kahoots") are multiple-choice quizzes that can be created by anyone and are not restricted as to age level or subject matter. Kahoot! can be played using any mobile device, desktop or laptop with an internet connection and web browser. 

While in my opinion, kahoot is the most useful media where teachers and learners can teach and learn in a fun way, in addition it's free!! Here are some benefits you will get when using kahoot:

Firstly, Kahoot provides us with a colorful background. It is actually not so important, but personally I think it is one point of attractiveness and also it makes teaching and learning  more enjoyable as it is not as boring as paper-based quizzes.
Secondly, Kahoot also gives us chances to add some pictures on each question which can make the question clearer and also less-boring.
Next, Kahoot lets us know the progress of each of our student in a form of a graph and it directly shows us the result of questions answered wrong or correct.
We can also limit the time for the students to answer each question so that all students start and finish the test at the same time which is also safe us more time. In case of saving time, kahoot did it greatly as we don't have to waste time on making the hard copy of the text that also save paper and trees, not to mention we don't have to experience a missing project as all the result will be recorded in the application.
Last but not least, kahoot lets us to know the result directly after the quizzes has been done and print the result as well. In the other hand, the learners can see their correct and incorrect answer directly from the result and also the score which again save the time as the scores are calculated automatically.

I believe every things have flaws, even perfect person does not exist. As we know, the online quizzes just like the names are online based quiz. So if the computers or the gadgets of the students and the teacher don't provide internet connection, the game would not be able to be displayed or even played at all. Also, if the computers or gadget suddenly went down because of virus, low battery, hank or lagging the students and teachers could not continue the lesson. For some reason, it is also bad for children because they keep their eyes on the screen of their gadgets and it can ruin student's eyesight.
Lastly, in the quiz there are certain time that is limited, and if the students did not pay attention they cannot answer the question properly or just use guessing method as we cannot replay the previous section.

In my language classroom I think I will only use the quiz as secondary need and prepare another alternative in chase there are something wrong with the program. I will actually use the online quizzes as a fun way of learning while also enrich the students' knowledge as well as measuring it. I might as well using offline quizzes instead if I experience the difficulties in generating the online ones.

Based on the story of "The Three Dogs" in storynory, I will show you the example of a quiz I have made, do not hesitate to try :)
