How blooket is used in icknield, and some history regarding it.
Blooket
Blooket is a game that is used in class by teachers to help students learn while having fun. It has
proven very effective over the past few years, and started when the chromebook one to one devices were
introduced in 2021. Students really enjoy playing them and it does work learning wise.
When it is used
Usually there is a blooket in class reviewing that lesson's learning after the main learning of the class is
completed. Ths means it is completed right near the end of the lesson, usally in the last 5 minutes.
Hacking in blooket games
About 1 and a half years ago from this post being made, "blookethacks.com" was found by a group of year
nines, who all used it to cheat and win in blooket games. Blooket was banned in that year because of it.
Someone in that year, who are now year 11, leaked the website to year 7 students(now year 9). However, the
website got blocked before the year 7 group could utilise them. However, in last year's year 8, a small
gorup of students found the hacks again on github and started cauing chaos. This kept happening many times
and the IT department didn't know how to stop it. However, eventually at the start of this year, hacking no
longer works. However, as teachers are not aware of this yet, they till make the mistake to kick people from
games sometimes when they are looking higher than normal.
