Kahoot! vs. Quizizz, Which Side Are You?

        

        

        Every day there are new and exciting things, such as platforms for students to learn. This time I will review the attractiveness of the Kahoot! and Quizizz platforms! 😀    

    Kahoot is a platform where you can create engaging quizzes for student assessment, assign homework, issue challenges, create surveys and polls, or even play live quizzes. It is considered a super fun and addictive application with plenty of games to play to make learning easy and exciting.

    Quizizz is also a student-paced formative assessment platform with plenty of academic games. Quizizz is user-friendly and accessible on any device. Teachers use Quizizz for group work, unit tests, exams, pre-test reviews, and impromptu tests. It is a fun and engaging platform that fosters self-reflection and student-led learning, allowing students to assess themselves. With Quizizz, students can challenge their peers, host live games, and even lead their study groups. Students can work at their own pace and the feedback is instant.

    Both platforms allow users to create and take quizzes in a more fun and engaging way. But they also possess unique features that differentiate them from each other.

          Ease of Use

        Kahoot is a highly interactive platform. Its gamification way of assessing knowledge is fun and exciting. Its interface is easy to use, and it allows both teachers and students to get immediate feedback and response. Once you log on, you are free to create your own kahoots or games or copy from other users and customize them to your needs.

          Quizizz, on the other hand, is also easy to use, with tutorials to help access answers and processes effortlessly. The search bar helps you find topics, while live chat helps you clarify things. The layout is pretty straightforward too. Taking the quizzes is quite intuitive, and what’s more, you can access them from any device.

           Unique Feature Comparison

• Kahoot has a versatile mobile app that allows you to create games on the fly. You can also host a Kahoot game from a mobile device and even add photos from your camera roll. As a student, you’ll be able to take part in Kahoot challenges against your peers and fellow students.
• Kahoot keeps tabs on each student’s performance, including the scores for each question. When playing in ghost mode, the platform displays your former attempts as ghosts. This makes it easy to compare your previous attempts with the current ones to view your progress.
• If you’ve ever battled naughty nicknames in the Kahoot game, you know that the generator will let you select from three nickname options.
• Quizizz have the homework mode that allows you to assign your homework to be completed by the deadline through homework mode. This means you don’t have to complete your game in person.
• Quizizz have Power-ups are given to students who’ve answered questions correctly. They include immunity (for giving a correct answer on the second attempt), power play (if you get 50% more points in 20 seconds), and x2 (double points for a single question).
• As you create new questions in Quizizz, you can use the icons next to them. For example, the media button will let you upload an image or audio, while the math button will give you a keyboard with math symbols.

           Student Experiences 

           Both Kahoot and Quizizz use fun music and bright colors to make the learning atmosphere more energetic and game-like. When using Quizizz, you can see the questions and answers through your device. With Kahoot, your device will only display the symbol and color choices. To view the actual answers, you have to use the classroom screen. While this seems a bit limiting, it unites the lesson and encourages participants to look up. On a positive note, this drives lively classroom engagement.

        From all the comparison above, which side are you? 😄😄
