5. Recommendation
I would recommend Kahoot! I feel that the ability to
effortlessly import pictures and videos makes this
program appealing to educators. As a math teacher, there
are often times that it is hard or impossible to type out an
equation or draw a graph. I would also recommend this
program due to the accessibility of Kahoot! Quizzes made
by other educators. I was not able to find a subject topic
to search that did not produce a usable Kahoot! Lastly, I
recommend Kahoot! Because of the exciting game-type
feel that I am sure will engage students and keep their
attention.
