Instructional Ideas
- After teaching a topic, teachers can search this app for a matching quiz and have students complete the quiz. After students complete the quiz, they can take a screen shot of their results and email them to their teacher for grading.
- Teachers can create a class challenge to see who can earn the most points during a class period by taking quizzes. When doing this activity, teachers need to stipulate the theme of the quizzes that students are to complete.
- After becoming familiar with the format of the quizzes included in this app, teachers can have students create quizzes modeled after the ones included in this app for topics not included in this app.
