Collect Formative Data With Quizzizz To Drive Instruction

Many teachers I know incorporate Kahoot into their teaching as a way to review and measure student progress.  Although I see the value of Kahoot, I wanted to find another web 2.0 tool that I could use with my students that keep things fresh and give me another tool to collect data to help drive instruction.  I found a tool called Quizizz.  Quizizz is very similar to Kahoot.  However, it has some other benefits/features:

1. It is more personalized- students read questions individually and can move on at their own pace. 
2. The focus is more on the answers instead of speed.
3. It saves time- there are many premade Quizziz on many topics shared by teachers and it is user friendly if you want to make your own or if you want students to generate one.  It is easy to share with other teachers in your building or cross buildings. You can pull questions from other Quizizz as well.
4. It can be used in the classroom or assigned to do at home on a phone or Chromebook.  No need for an account, just the code.
5. It is easy to share with Google Classroom, Remind, Edmodo, or by giving the session code.
6. Students get instant feedback on their progress. 
7. Data is generated through an instant report which lets you look at where students are finding success and challenges both individually or as a class.
8. It has many uses for formative assessment such as warm-ups, exit tickets, and review. It could be used to introduce a topic or as assessment.
