Quizizz Student Response 

Written by Heath Kelley, DMS 5th grade teacher

Kahoot has become a popular online tool for reviewing content with a large group.  The group progresses through the game-based assessment together.  Kahoot functions well for the purpose of working with the entire class.  The teacher can pause within the game to clarify answers to questions and reteach.  

Recently, a new game-based assessment option called quizizz has become popular.  Although similar to Kahoot in the sense that students answer multiple choice questions and have a leaderboard, Quizizz has many different features.  Probably the feature that is most distinct is that students work at their own pace to answer questions.  

During a recent social studies unit, I used quizizz to review vocabulary.  Below, is a slideshow of quizizz in action.  I placed captions over the pictures to describe the different features.

Quizizz is a nice option if you do not want students rushed to answer.  The teacher can decide whether or not to allow extra points for quicker responses.  I found that it gave me quick feedback that was easy to understand and use.  I knew right away what I needed to re-teach to students.

How about you?  Are there feedback systems that you have had success with? How might you see quizizz being used in your classroom?
