Quizziz: An Interactive Tool for Learning

If you’re looking for a way to make your learning activity fun and engaging, Quizizz might be the solution. Whether you’re a student who is looking for a way to have a fun way to review the materials you have learned, or if you’re a teacher who is looking for a way to create an engaging test for your students, Quzizz is ready to help you achieve that!

What is Quizizz?

Quizizz is an online tool to create, share, and participate in quizzes. These quizzes can be played live in class or assigned as homework. The process is simple: the teacher creates or finds a quiz and shares the game code with the students. Students can access the website to fill out the code and do the quiz. 

Benefits of using Quizizz

Quizizz has several features that make learning fun and effective:

1. Real-Time Feedback: at the end of each quiz, there is immediate feedback so the students can see how they did. 

2. Engaging and customizable: With memes, music, and colourful themes, Quizizz feels more like a game than a regular quiz. Plus, teachers can customize questions to suit any topic or grade level.

3. Integration with Other Platforms: Quizizz integrates easily with tools like Google Classroom, making it convenient for teachers to track student performance.

Drawbacks of Quizziz

1. Limited Question Types: Currently, it mainly supports multiple-choice and true/false questions, which might not be suitable for all subjects or deeper learning assessments.

2. Reliance on the Internet: Since Quizizz is entirely online, a stable internet connection is a must. In areas with poor connectivity, this can be an issue.

3. Distractions: With all the fun features like memes and music, some students might get distracted and focus more on the competition than the learning itself.

How to Use Quizizz in the Classroom

Quizizz can be used in multiple ways to enhance classroom learning. This platform can be used for many subjects and teachers can customize it based on the subject they’re teaching. Students can participate live, and the leaderboard adds an element of friendly competition. Or, for homework, you could assign a quiz on key vocabulary from a reading assignment. Students can complete the quiz at home, and you'll be able to monitor their progress easily.

I have used Quizizz as a quiz in various subjects. Many of my teachers use this tool to check our understanding of the materials given. I find it very engaging and I have to admit it is a fun way to check our understanding.
