1. Canvas Quizzes
Pros- Canvas quizzes are great because they are self-checking as long as you provide the correct answers. Canvas will even sync with SIS gradebooks to automatically input the scores. 
Cons- You are somewhat limited as to the types of questions you can ask and the way students can submit answers.

2. Kahoot
Pros- The kids love it. There are TONS of premade quizzes to choose from both made by Kahoot and by other users. They give some level of analysis afterward.
Cons- Can get the kids hyped up. If you are just using the free version, you are limited in how far you can customize your quizzes.

4. Flipgrid
Pros- A way to see the kids faces/expressions (especially handy when teaching remotely). Allows for teachers to grade a demonstration or speech in their own time. Great way for students to collaborate.
Cons- Students are limited to showing their understanding to the medium of film.
