ONLINE QUIZZES

We've learnt about 3 different tools to create online quizzes: 

1.- Google Forms:

It allows you to test your students using different kind of questions: multiple choice, open question, matching, fill gaps...you can also upload videos, songs, listenings in order to make them answer.
Unfortunately, it doesn't provide you much feetback as you finally have the score and that's it.

2.- Socrative:

Fun and engaging as it provides different kind of games/tests. It's more visual and the design is more attractive and variable. It offers you more ways of assessing, seeing their progression, checking the answered questions, converting the information into an Excel sheet,...



3.- Plickers:

I've been impressed by this tool. It's a way of creating online quizzes and make the students answer thanks to a piece of paper with a QR code on it. According to the way you set the paper, your answer is showed. Using the mobile phone, the teacher can scan the different codes in order to get the students answers. Thrilling and exciting when you see all the papers up and your answer on the screen class at the same time.

I'm sure my adult students will be jaw-droping when using any of these online quizzes at class, as they aren't used to learning through these tools.
In conclusion, they are all amazing and suitable somehow, as they allow you to test the knowledge and progression of your students and make the assessment and correction easier and faster. Overall, they are fun and engaging tools for students so they totally break the conventional way of teaching, learning and assessing. However, I also see that if you use any of them in class students will be addicted to these online tools and will not want any other way of doing quizzes or tests from that moment on...
