You need to host a game that's really easy to answer, then join as yourself on two different tabs, and play one of them and make sure to use power ups. not sure if this works infinitely but it gives a lot
To cheat on Quizizz without hacks: if you have a multiple attempt quizizz, guess on the first round, go to review, keep it in your tabs, then click the original link and play again while looking at the answers on the "review".
Kahoot: 7/10 - We love how many ready-to-play games there are and the gamified feel while still focusing on education. We don't love how predatory and expensive the tool feels to teachers who are building with it.
Slides With Friends 9/10 - We love how it's the simplest and easiest to use / understand, and that it's the most flexible to use for all different kinds of lessons. We also love the reasonable pricetag.
SlidesWith is one of the more affordable options out there, especially for teachers. They've got special education pricing for teachers, that drops the cost to $6 per month per teacher when you get an annual subscription.
Like Quizizz, students individually answer multiple-choice questions at their own pace on their devices, earning "money" for correct answers. The objective is to accumulate the most "money" by the game's end. Even in team mode, answers are submitted individually, but the "money" earned contributes to the team's total.
Blooket's free tier is super generous. Play for free with up to 60 students, and then it's $36 a year to host up to 300 students or $5 a month. However you get more and better reporting with the paid plans, and more game options.
The OG (original game). Kahoot makes it clear that it is the first of this kind, given that most of the options below feel like an ecosystem set up around a Kahoot game. It's a quizzing and gamified group formative assessment tool. It enables live, interactive quizzing, letting you create or find a quiz, launch it as a presentation on a computer / tv / projector screen, and your students join in on their own devices (phone, tablet, desktop) through a link or downloaded app. You then run through questions one by one with your students, live as a group.
Kahoot has a somewhat kid-glove and early-technology feeling, for instance answer options are given colors and shapes and you have to tap on the matching color/shape on your player screen (rather than being able to make a direct selection of an answer's text). Despite numerous users expressing satisfaction with Kahoot, large review sites have many people noting several recurring drawbacks, such as costly subscription options, limited personalization capabilities, a complex interface, and a restricted variety of question formats.
Gimkit is a little like a kid's video game with Kahoot built in. It's not that different from Blooket is quite a few ways, but the quizzing is a little more separate. To play, you find a "kit" (game or questions set) you want to have your kids answer, you choose a "game mode" (like speed of answers, points earned, number of questions answered, etc) and then launch an event. Joining looks very similar to Kahoot (in fact the design and font are pretty much the same).
Based on your game mode selection a game type and there's a console game esque element that incentivizes answering questions. For example the gif above is of the game version "Snowbrawl", where avatars run around shooting each other with snowballs (think like Super Smash Brothers), and you can refuel your snowball ammo by answering quiz questions correctly. Here's a great Re:EdTech video of Gimkit Gameplay of how launch, join, and the quizzing portion of gameplay looks.
Gimket's free tier is very usable. The main restriction is that you only have access to three of the game "modes" or types (like Snowbrawl). If you want more game options, you'll have to upgrade to Pro. This gets you access to all the game modes.
It's best used as a way to get kids feeling like they're playing, with some formative assessment snuck in around the edges. If you want some time off, it's a good way to get a rest during the day, since it basiaclly keeps the kids occupied with a video game.
Quizizz lets you build, edit, and share interactive quizzes and lessons, including both teacher-led and self-paced quizzes or lessons. The editor lets you incorporate various question types and multimedia elements in customized quizzes.
To get started, you can check out the popular decks library, copy any deck into your account, and launch a presentation. Students join in on any device that has the internet, like a tablet, desktop, or smartphone. Students love the soundboard and silly avatars.
Create a dynamic cheat website on replit that provides Kahoot answers, Edpuzzle answers and autocomplete, and Quizizz answers for users - in a similar (or exact same) way as the cheat websites , , and do.
It also must have a nice, clean, and easy to use UI (like the sites mentioned above).
It should also have various slots for google ads to be in on every page except the main page.
The platform was easy to use and there are tutorials available for easy access to answers and processes. There is a search bar for questions that direct you to a range of topics. Live chat is even available if you still cannot have your questions answered or need clarification.
Quizizz is perfect for so many facets of classroom learning. It is easy to use, flexible, and fun for students. As an art teacher, I have used Quizizz for key concepts like the elements of art, specific techniques, art history lessons, and art vocabulary. I have also used Quizizz as a hook for upcoming projects and for fun trivia days before breaks. Because students can complete these on their own screen and there are no time limits, it is perfect for introverts who still want to participate in game-based learning without the group hype. It is very easy to link with Google Classroom, so it is easy to assign a Quizizz to your students.
I would recommend trying Quizizz in your classroom. It is a fantastic, flexible, easy to use, and free game-based learning platform that will be engaging for your students and will make learning even more fun! Be sure to check out my other technology reviews for Kahoot! and Gamestar Mechanic to see if those platforms may work for you, too!
