Students do not like exams and quizzes. We can endear quizzes to
students by making them enjoyable. Today I will introduce 2 mobile applications
to prepare enjoyable quizzes.
Kahoot
At first, we go https://kahoot.com/welcomeback/
address and click the “Sign up” button. Then we select “as a teacher” button
and write a user name. After we login Kahoot, we choose “My Kahoots” option and
click “Make My First Quiz” button. Next,
we will see 4 options: Quiz, Jumble, Discussion, Survey. We choose Quiz. Now we
write a name for our quiz. We can add picture or intro video. Then we write choices
and make one of them correct. After we prepare questions, we click “play”
button to start quiz. When we click “launch” button, the program gives a code
for students to reach quiz. Students can start by entering this code to their
computers, tablets or smart phones.
Students write a nickname and join the quiz. You can see participants on
your screen. Now you project questions on the board and students answer
question within given time from their computers, tablets or smart phones.
Plickers
You can prefer to make enjoyable quizzes if your students do not have
computers, tablets or smart phones. You need a mobile device (tablet or smart
phone), a printer, papers, a computer to prepare questions and a smart board in
class.
At first, you prepare questions from website of Plickers. Plickers forms
different QR codes for your each student. You can print these codes and distribute to all
class. Then questions are projected to board and students use their QR codes to
answer multiple choice or true false questions. Students raise the codes according
to their answers. We use the camera of our mobile device in Plickers application.
Plickers scans student answers and lists student who answers.
