​WHAT IS QUIZIZZ?

• An interactive lesson and quiz platform

• Participants can join from any device with a browser

• There is an app for iPhone, Android, Google

• Student-paced or Instructor-paced quizzes

• Get instant results

• Connect your Google Classroom to Quizizz

​How Quizizz Works

• Create lessons and quizzes on your own, OR choose from a library of pre-made gamified quizzes, interactive lessons, all sorted into courses

• Lessons and quizzes can be completed in the classroom or during at-home learning (LIVE or HOMEWORK)

• Quizzes can be student paced, so they work through questions without a timer rushing them - although there is points for speed

• Add interactive video or audio to your lessons and quizzes, as well as add answer explanations to reinforce at-home learning

• ​Questions can be read aloud to students (turn on in settings)

​BENEFITS - Teacher

• No grading required - results are instant

• See which questions gave students troubles and which ones were easy

• You have the ability to create quizzes on your own or mix and match pre-created material with your own questions

• Question order is randomized for each student, making cheating more difficult

• Great for remote learning - asynchronous concept checks - study tools

• ​Could be used to flip the classroom

BENEFITS - Students

• ​Students are able to see their results instantly, reviewing the questions that they got correct and incorrect, as well as time spent on each question

• ​Students can re-attempt questions on quizzes that they got wrong to improve scores and reinforce learning

• Participants see the questions or lesson right on their device - don't need to look at big screen in the classroom

• ​Quizzes are fun with "Power-Up" tools, memes between questions

• ​Students don't need to create an account - can join quizzes and lessons with a code

​Potential Drawbacks

• As with some other digital assessment tools, questions are mostly limited to multiple choice or poll questions, which limits assessment

• ​This tool can be seen by some as more of a review/preview tool, rather than actual assessment

• ​Should you, as the teacher, want to keep students anonymous, then you don't know who got questions right or wrong, just the group as a whole

​COST

• Free for all, but there is a SUPER! add-on for $10 US Monthly with these added features
