Happy Digital Tool Tuesday, Wednesday Edition! Let's face it, most of us think today is Tuesday, anyway, right? Today's tool is Quizizz. If you have never used Quizizz before, you may have used its mom and dad, Kahoot and Quizlet (if you haven't, fear not, resident tech guru Whitney will be presenting on Kahoot at our Sept. PD day!). These tools are not affiliated with each other, but are very similar. So why, you may ask, would you want to use Quizizz if Kahoot and Quizlet are working just fine for you? Let me explain! Quizizz is great for fun, interactive reviews of material, just like Kahoot and Quizlet. One of the big differences is that you can assign a Quizizz quiz as "homework" and then you can integrate it with your Google Classroom. This allows students to review the material at home, not just in class, like Quizlet, but it is still using the fun platform like Kahoot does, marrying the best of the Kahoot and Quizlet worlds. In addition, students can see the answer choices on their devices, whereas with Kahoot they only see shapes that coordinate with what is on the teacher's board. This may be better for students who have processing delays and cannot hang with their peers during Kahoot because it takes them longer to figure out the answers. You still get the data after the quiz. And, Math and science teachers, they even have a character map where you can put in Greek symbols, superscripts, subscripts, etc. The setup and design is similar to Kahoot. One thing I really like is that you can preview the student side of things on half the screen while seeing what your half looks like as the teacher. The quizzes also use memes throughout, which makes learning fun for students. Need help getting started? Let me know how I can help, or visit the Resources page of Quizizz!
