TECH TOOL BOX
QUIZIZZ
Let your curriculum drive the technology...
Teachers should take full advantage of new tech tools and provide students with interesting, diverse, and current learning materials. Use only age and curriculum appropriate digital tools to ENGAGE your students and MOTIVATE them to want to learn.
"Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals."
Let's have fun putting a digital twist on your lessons!
What izz It?
Meet Kahoot!'s Cousin!
How about more gamified classroom quizzes? Like Kahoot, students will answer questions on devices. Unlike Kahoot, which is only played together as a class with lots of excitement and "discussion", Quizizz allows students to take a digital quiz quietly and at their own pace... while still having fun. The memes in between the questions (which can be turned off) can be entertaining.
How Do We Get Started?
Teachers:
Create a FREE account at quizizz.com.
Teachers will search and/or create quizzes. The randomly generated code to join the live quiz will be displayed, but the questions won't necessarily need to be displayed on the SMART Board or screen. They are displayed on student devices. Each Quizizz quiz is self-paced. Results and grades are received by the teacher and can be exported. Stop off at the Help Center for a rundown of FAQs.
Students:
No app / No account
Students will use Chrome to join quizzes at quizizz.com/join. They are to answer assessment questions along the way at their own pace.
What's the Best Way to Use Quizizz?
Quizizz is so versatile. It can be played live in a classroom setting with whole/small group, with individuals/pairs on one device, and/or assigned to individuals as homework. Lab settings work great as well because questions and answers are randomized so that students are NOT on the same question. Note: There is a Share on Google Classroom button!! (can you hear the angels singing??)
The teacher will get the ball rolling by projecting the join code to the students. After all students have joined, the teacher may want to hide/minimize the screen... maybe display a timer instead... because student names and statistics can be displayed while the assessment is going.
