As stated earlier, I consider myself very familiar with Kahoot. Kahoot is a tool that teachers can use to have students practice for a test or just have a silly competition. Each student needs their own device that they will use to respond to various questions that will appear on the teachers Smartboard or projector. I love Kahoot, but I am always looking to try something new. I recently explored Quiznetic. I found out about Quiznetic from reading Larry Ferlazzo's blog post that contained the top 25 Web 2.0 applications/websites for 2017. Below you will find a video I recorded while using Quiznetic.
To summarize, I really enjoyed exploring Quiznetic and I am very excited to use it with my students. It took a little practice to navigate it, but I am glad I did. They have "clone a game" that are boards that are already created, you just need to create the questions. I would recommend using those, as they are very colorful and often involve a board game the students may have played before. Similar to Kahoot, students will need their own device and will be typing in an access code. The big difference between Kahoot and Quiznetic: Quiznetic is self-paced! Quiznetic allows students to navigate the questions on their own device. As a special educator I like this because every student processes questions differently and often times they run out of time during Kahoot. I also really like it because students can get the questions in random order, so not every student will be on the same question.
I highly recommend you check out Quiznetic! It is a must if you teach middle school!

I love Kahoot! When reading over the requirements for this week I found myself having to Google Web 2.0 tools as well. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my co-teacher and I already use many of those ideas in our classroom. I am going to explore other tools that we can use in the future. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat tool! . We use kahoot as well but this looks like a great opportunity to use other platforms. I like the overall "board game" aesthetic as well.
ReplyDeleteI think thats what caught my eye- the "board game" feel :)
DeleteRobert,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE KAHOOT. We literally use Kahoot all the time in class because my students thrive on competition. I am always looking for new ways to keep my students engaged and this app/resource looks awesome! I love that this is self-paced because I often find with kahoot that my highest kids answer right away and the other students either get defeated and just pick an answer or they start staring at other screens. I am going to have to try quiznetic right away!
I agree about the highest kids responded fastest.. it is hard to self-pace a kahoot unless you extend the timer to a longer time. The problem with doing so is even if a student uses the whole time, their score will still be lower based on how quick they respond. I will still use Kahoot, but plan on giving Quiznetic a try for the next test :)
DeleteThis looks like a great alternative to Kahoot which is still a fan-favorite but with middle school students we need to keep their interest! Thanks for demonstrating what it looked like on the user end and as the moderator.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be using this site! I'm a big fan of Kahoot and Quizziz. My account is created and I'm ready to use this. Wonderful demonstration on the ease of use of Quiznetic.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate how visual Quiznetic can be. I think that would be better for students who are on the spectrum or have any other kind of needs that require them to see an end point or goal. I will definitely be considering this program for a review activity. Due to the diverse processing speeds within my class, I may make it into a small group review game. Thanks for finding this program!
