Quizizz vs. Schoolbox

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.

Schoolboxn is well suited to being a school portal. You can manage user accounts, access to information and communicate to users individually or as a group. The pages allow for a great range of media types, you can use blog, forum or chat and embed videos and images easily. As an LMS, this system is great. Student accounts link to class information easily by the back end sync tools. Giving students instant access to their information. Assessments are easily submitted and feedback given by teachers can be viewed by students and parents.

A situation where this system is less suitable is if you work in a school that already has a dedicated portal and/or LMS.

• 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.

• User interface
• System search
• Quiz builder

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)

We switched out Google domain, and their support people transferred everthing

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.

Canvas is purely an LMS. Whilst it is a good system, it didn’t allow us to manage parent communication or use it as a portal. In the end we didn’t want to manage 2 separate systems. Schoolbox is the only all in one system we found that stacked up. Other systems did the portal well, or the LMS well, but not both together.
