Quizizz and MCS
– Marietta City Schools’ current mission statement is “To prepare each of our
students, through academic achievement, for college, career and life success.”
– Quizizz can help increase academic achievement
– Use of the quick feedback from formative assessments can help teachers determine
how to differentiate in their classrooms
– Quizizz is student paced which allows students to work without feeling pressure
from students who answer questions faster
– Reports and data can be saved and tracked within Quizizz, which can be especially
beneficial for students with disabilities and students who receive 504 services
– Marietta High School already has a BYOD program in place, so no new technology
will be required to be purchased

How can we protect students
using Quizizz?
– It is not required that students create an account in order to complete a quiz
– If students chose to create an account, minimal personal information is required
such as an email address
– Students can use only first names or initials to help provide anonymity online
– Teacher accounts can be completed and all stored data and reports are deleted
with the account

Quizizz in the Classroom
– Quizizz’s strength is that it is an online platform for formative assessment,
which means teachers and students can receive very quick feedback
– All reports can be saved indefinitely; this allows teachers to easily go back and
see student growth
– Reports show important data on different levels, including whole class and
student-by-student
– Teachers can share quizzes with one another- which is great for PLCs!
– Multiple settings on quiz modes allow teachers to decide what students see

More strengths of Quizizz
– Students can work individually or in groups on quizzes
– Quizzes incorporate avatars, themes, music, memes, and more to help keep students engaged and motivated
– Quizzes can be used as a review, a formative assessment, or even a summative assessment
– Students are able to complete quizzes at their own pace, which helps ensure results are more accurate since students will feel less pressure to answer the questions in a short amount of time
– Athough quizizz is designed to be student paced, each question has a maximum time limit of five minutes which helps keep students on track and prevents students from falling behind

Helping teachers use Quizizz
– Fortunately, many teachers at MHS have begun to implement technology in
their classroom more over the past year than they have before
– Most teachers have at least seen an online formative assessment (such as
Kahoot or Plickers) even if they have not utilized them individually
– Quizizz’s website is well designed and easily navigatable; majority of the
teachers will be able to create accounts and begin viewing, editing, or creating
quizzes with little to no instruction
– Professional development for Quizizz should begin with an overview during a
time such as preplanning, when all teachers can be exposed and can explore
quizizz with their colleagues
– If more support is needed, technology coaches can meet with teachers
individually, through PLC meetings, or even department meetings

Reflection
– The hardest part of choosing a technology to focus on, was trying to pick a resource
that very few teachers in my school use, as well as a resource that is relatable and
usable for almost all teachers
– It was also important that the technology be usable by all students
– As a teacher for students with disabilities, sometimes the technology given to me is not
appropriate for my students
– Quizizz allows me to make sure that my students can all read and understand the
questions and answers since I can create my own or edit preexisting quizzes
– One thing that I would like to see quizizz add in the future is a capability to read questions
and answers to students
– This experience helped me critique technologies that are available, especially since
there are many resources available that do the same thing

Reflection Continued
– I am excited to implement quizizz in my own classroom
– My students have seen online quizzes before, but many times the websites
make it confusing to edit premade quizzes, and students are rarely able to work
at their own pace
– I still believe that Quizizz’s best use is for formative assessments
– Seeing data on a class level and individual level can help me differentiate based
on block and student
– Results can help determine which students need remediation and which
students are ready to be challenged, which is beneficial since many of my
classes have a very wide range of ability levels
