Quizizz: Online Gamified Assessment
Details
Activity Description
Quizizz can be used as a prediction activity to find out what students already know about a topic or it can be used as a review to find out what was learned. You can create and play quizzes live or for homework. They can be accessed by the students using any device with a Web browser including a laptop, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android, Chromebook, or desktop computer. An app is NOT necessary to participate in a Quizizz activity.
As of August 2022, there is only a limited free version. To use all the bells and whistles, you will need to use the Super Version which costs $96.00 annually. As long as you don't need many games, you can get away with using the free basic version.
