In Quizizz, I like that you can check for understanding in classes. You can use the create a lesson option and make daily, short warm-ups. You can see how many in the class understand a concept and if you need to review that topic again. Next you can also use Quizizz as a weekly quiz. It grades it automatically and can be inputted into a Google Classroom. Teachers can use Quizizz as daily homework assignments sometimes too. The students can play Quizzes during the week as many times as they want to get proficient in a topic area. I don't like that I have to pay for an upgrade to add some of the cool extra features. I also dislike that the homework/ quiz codes expire without usage! If you pay for a membership you want them to always be active.
Overall, Edpuzzle is a way to make a video interactive and student-centered. Rather than a teacher playing a video, clicking pause, and then trying to get students to discuss or take notes or interrogate the film based on what the teacher deems reasonable, Edpuzzle puts the student in control. They can rewatch. They can respond to written questions or quizzes. They can click on hyperlinks inserted by a teacher. They can review written comments or audio notes left by a teacher. Edpuzzle truly takes the viewing experience and slows it down for students and allows them to engage with it individually.
Socrative is a good tool for making learning easier and effective. In fact, it allows the teacher to not only built his or her own quizzes, but also to import quizzes from the store. This tool is good as it gives the opportunity to students to see the live progress of their results. Socrative helps teachers with class and individual reports to check the class academic needs as well as the learning gaps of every student. However, Socrative does not allow students to see their names on the class screen, which makes it less interesting from other interactive apps such as Kahoot.
