App of the week!
This week's feature is: Quizizz
Quizizz is a gamified assessment tool. Students engage at their own pace whether in a Live Game or in Homework Mode. It's accessible across all device platforms. And the best part, the students love it and you don't have to grade it. Align it to the TEKS for more authentic data!
Want to try a game out? Click here to test your Disney knowledge on Quizizz.
Supercharge reading engagement!
