Quizalize is a newer game platform like Kahoot. Students play your quiz/answer questions on their laptops/tablets/phones by going to the Quizalize website and entering their names and a class code provided by you. Students are awarded points for correctly answering questions quickly and given feedback instantly on every quiz question that they answer. A total score is presented to students at the end of every quiz.
As a teacher, you are able to see the scores for each student in your class and on the results page, you can quickly identify the questions that gave students the most difficulty in terms of correct answers. You also have access to the time that was needed to answer each question.
