This is the interview I conducted with Ms. Jamie Pilgrim about the open-source educational tool called Kahoot. Kahoot is a game that can be played through one's tablet, phone, computer, or other electronic device, and the point of the software is to have a fun, interactive way for people to test their skills on a certain subject. Even though Kahoot is not a free/open source software, but it could be easily mistaken for one because it is a free app that one can download on their phone and is an educational tool that teachers all around the United States use.

A: Perhaps a walkthrough on the features of the game, especially for first time game creators. I feel like I am still uncovering some of the really great features the site has to offer.
