Quizizz vs Kahoot!
Quizizz and Kahoot! are multiplayer game-based assessment tools that make reviewing fun. Both are web-based and can be used on any device with a web browser. Choose from thousands of activities or create your own.
Quizizz is self-paced and the questions, answers, and progress board are displayed on the student device. The teacher device monitors student progress in real time. Quizizz also works with Google Classroom quiz assignments for homework a snap.
With Kahoot! the questions, answers, and scoreboard are projected and driven by the teacher who controls the pace. This works great if you want to discuss each question based on how the students answered.
The image below sums up the differences. Give them a try and decide for yourself which one and your students like best.

Keyboarding: A Necessary Life Skill
Are students prepared for the work place if they are not taught keyboarding and simply rely on the good ole hunt-and-peck method?
Much like memorizing multiplication facts to quickly solve mathematical problems, keyboarding is a technological skill that requires fluency and focus in today’s digital world. Students who are fluent with keyboarding are able to focus on their writing rather than spend time hunting for characters on a keyboard.
Some argue there isn’t enough time in the day to work it in or the budget doesn’t allow it. This could very well be the case however, there are good free web-based programs available that if 5 minutes a day were spent using them instead of computer free time spent in games or watching music videos, you would be providing a great service to your students for acquiring a needed life skill in our digital world today.
Check out these free web-based resources and bookmark them in your classroom today! Make free time, (free)board time.
