    Chose Wayground
    I prefer Quizizz to Kahoot for the report options, accessibility functions, and leaderboards. When I am using Kahoot whole group it is hard to see the question and answer options. Students used to only have the colored buttons to choose from on their screen, but now they have …

    Nearpod is great for teachers who want data to help gauge how engaged students are during lessons. Additionally, teachers in one-to-one schools can better use these tools with a lesson delivery system like Nearpod. Nearpod is especially effective when a presenter has to deliver information to a large class.

    Quizizz is very well suited for my elementary and middle school-aged students. It is fast-paced, competitive, and keeps their attention. I would not think it would be as well implemented in lower (k-2) grades. I love the fact that it is aligned with Generation Genius, which is another site I use for instruction.

    • Modifying existing quizzes often simply does not work: the system looks up when I try to add new items.
    • Quizizz has no easily discovered way to change titles of quizzes.

    Usability
    Renaissance Learning
    While there is some learning curve to fully understand and know how to lead a lesson with Nearpod, once mastered successfully, Nearpod lessons are simple to create and deliver. When leading a lesson, it is relatively simple to see how everyone in the class performs and how well they participate and understand.

    All reports are very informative and you can analyze the data by student, by class, or by question. The ease of sharing the assignments via Google Classroom is seamless! Teachers can input their own media and questions for anything (quiz, test, survey, emotional check in, etc)

    The support staff for Nearpod is top-notch. I have not had technical issues, but I did have a concern about my bill and they reached out to me nearly immediately to address the problem. I was very satisfied with how they handled the interaction from beginning to end. They did a great job.

    I don't know of a product off hand that does what Nearpod can do. Between the library of pre-made lessons, the ability to create your own lesson content, the ability to add interactive content, Nearpod offers a unique engagement platform for instruction

    Since many online fun checks are not available in the market, we choose Quizziz because it is easier to use than the others, it has a user icon to use ( which is fun to choose), the site is easy to find. No lag and crash of website.

    • The impact is awesome. It gives students a digital option other than PowerPoint for presentations.
    • The feedback tool allows you to follow students in realtime.
    • The shallow learning curve made it easy encourage other faculty to try it.
