Editor's Notes
- Formative assessment is a great way to assess students so that teaching and learning activities can be altered according to the results. The results can be used to inform remediation, re-teaching, and instructional strategy. There are now online classroom quiz creators that will make learning fun for your students.
- Quizizz, Kahoot and Socrative are all online based formative assessment tools. All are good and some teachers even use all three. The reason for this is because even though they are similar there are key differences. I am going to go over the similarities and differences between these three popular tools. This could change in the future as online tools will add new features periodically. Quizizz, Kahoot and Socrative can be played on all devices. They all require a code to join that the game itself creates. Though you can create questions on the fly in Quizizz and Kahoot, Socrative is designed to do so.
- This is the key difference. The students do not see the question on their device in Kahoot. They have to see the question projected on the wall from their teacher’s computer. The students see the questions on their devices when using Quizizz and Socrative. The teacher sees the real time results while the students are taking a quiz on their computer. The results can be projected to everyone when it is appropriate to do so.
- Quizizz and Socrative are player based and the students take the quiz at their own pace. If you want to pause after each question Kahoot is better. You can set up Socrative to send only one question at a time to your students otherwise they take the quiz at their own pace. Because is it player based, Quizizz games have a "homework" option which can keep the quiz open for up to two weeks.
- There are similarities such as students get instant feedback, there are leaderboards to show scores which can be turned on or off, if you have students who feel too much anxiety about competing and don’t want to display their name, you can assign your students code names which you only know. Kahoot has a really neat feature where if students try to type in an inappropriate name, it won’t allow it. There is a large database of premade quizzes to choose from in all three. You as the teacher can use another teacher’s quiz and modify it for your own use. Finally, they are all good to use as an Exit ticket or to introduce a new topic.
- Quizizz has some stand out features. After a student has correctly answered a question, a meme will pop-up to give positive feedback to the student. There are many memes already in the system, but you can also add your own custom memes with student’s picture, school mascot and make your quiz more personal.
- When you are creating quiz, you are not limited to just words! You can create math questions easily using the symbols in the system. There are math, latin, greek and currency symbols.
- Quizizz creates an inclusive learning environment, every student gets a chance to answer at their own pace and doesn’t promote students to focus only on speed.
- The real time feedback is very helpful for you and your students. There are instant reports at both the class level and for individual students. It auto generates graded reports in Excel, pdf and other formats. You have access to all your old game data and you can share with parents reports in just one click.
