This is a website which allows you to create your own multiple-choice
quiz.
To use it is quite simple as you create an account and
then create a survey by clicking the create tab. In doing this, you input all the questions you want as
well as both the correct and incorrect answers. You then continue to create the
survey and you end up with a link that can link anyone to your quiz.
This can be used for English as seen in the mini-quiz
sample quiz I have made which is linked below.
This can be then used as a quick formative assessment
along any unit of work, and it is this flexibility which is a real draw card. It
becomes really helpful when you wish to highlight to students key concepts
within any particular piece of work, in the way by quizzing them with it.
Group work could also be fostered with this in a way
that a class is made to create their own quizzes to test their own knowledge on
a given topic, as well as the knowledge of fellow students. Here, reinforcement
of the correct answers can be made clear, as students will need to be aware
of which answer is correct, and which answers are incorrect. Furthermore if students are made to construct a quiz, students will need to think up of why particular answers are correct and others are incorrect thus, the idea is that students will know more so why the correct answer is the correct answer.
Other good things about this include the fact that it
saves on time and paper as it is quick to create and distribute a quiz amongst
the class. Furthermore, it allows for quick “pop-quizzes” which allow for
rewards and positive reinforcement for students to study, particularly if
rewards are made up for grabs. Time pressure can also be added so as to allow
for effective and efficient teaching and time management. It also allows
teachers to see instant results upon completion of the quiz, and if issues
arise such as a significant number of students getting a particular question
wrong, then this can be addressed immediately.
