Socrative can be used for quick quizzes and also on the fly. Create quizzes and play as a game called Space Race. The website automatically divides the class into teams. Kids know what color team they're on and can look at the rockets racing one another on the board.The advantage of Socrative is that it gives percentages and you can even use it for traditional quizzes if desired.
Kahoot lets us build fun quizzes. Students use iPads to join the game. You can create flashcards for review. You can also embed videos and use Kahoot as part of the teaching process, or students can create review games to share. There are so many worthwhile ready made quizzes that you can edit if desired. Zaption lets you embed questions within the video. Students can't move forward in the video until they can correctly answer the question. Readworks provides over 1,800 K-8 non-fiction and literary reading passages, each with a research based question set to support student comprehension that can be searched by grade level, lexile, and/or skill/strategy.
