Quizizz

Do you like Kahoot?  I LOVE Kahoot, but I was running into an issue (especially with math) with my kids running out of time before they could select an answer.  Kahoot has a maximum time limit of 120 seconds.  Now, one suggestion that the help desk at Kahoot suggests is to make a copy of each question and insert it BEFORE the scored question.  This is a bit much for me, so I decided to look into some alternatives.  Quizizz has become my new favorite.  Quizizz has a bank of member-created assessments, but it has features that Kahoot lacks.  First of all, you can set the time limit to 15 minutes.  Second of all, it is self-paced.  Students move on to the next question once they answer the one they are currently on.  Finally, you can create quiz and give it as homework with a window of time to complete the quiz.  

Do students need an account?  Nope! Just like with Kahoot, students go to the site and enter the code to play :)
