Quizizz for Teaching Purposes

Quizizz works similar to Kahoot, in which you can create a serie of questions but this time you can add more tools to the game. Besides images and videos, you can play against the time, you can be very creative using different colors in your quizzes or adding points to each question to make it more competitive. You can also use the app to send homework or look for quizzes already created for practicing. (Here you can read my post about Kahoot: https://bit.ly/2OJ6Gki)

Quizizz gives you a code that you can have to send to your students so they will have access to it. They can use a computer, smartphones, Ipads and laptops. They only need access to the Internet.
