An Easy and Quick Way to Grade Quizzes on Google Drive Using Super Quiz Tool

February 22, 2015
Super Quiz is an excellent Google Sheets add-on that allows teachers to add some amazing functionalities to the quizzes they create through Google Forms. For instance, when you create a quiz, you only need to complete it once with an answer key and all future submissions will be automatically graded according to the answers you provided. Another important feature of Super Quiz is that it enables you to get a break down of class understanding and a list of incorrect students' answers  for each question in case you want to stage an intervention.

Also, “By filling out a few cells of information, you can also generate personalized differentiated written feedback emailed to students as soon as they submit a response. No need to monitor and ‘re-grade’ - just set-up and go!You can split your quiz in up to 4 different topics, and provide specific feedback on each. If you don’t want to email students, you can choose to print feedback on a 2x2 array, too.”

FlipQuiz- A Good Tool to Create Gameshow-style Quizzes in Class

January 12, 2015
A few days ago I shared here a visual guide on how to create a quiz show on Google Drive and today I am introducing you to another tool that does almost the same. FlipQuiz is a web tool that allows teachers to easily create gameshow-style boards for test reviews in the classroom. All the boards you create can be saved for later use. You can also share your boards up on-screen and have students work on them collaboratively. Watch this demo to show you what a gameshow-style board looks like.

To set up your new quiz board, you will need to register. Once logged in, click on “ Create a new board”. Then use the editor provided there together with the different tools it offers to design your game boards. You can always edit your boards by clicking on the “edit your entire board button”. When you are done creating your quiz boards, you can then  see the presentation version of your board by hitting “Launch presentation view”.

 Some of the features of FlipQuiz  include:

• Create and save boards in your account for future use
• FlipQuiz™ allows you the freedom to create beautiful game boards that you can take with you from class to class, school to school, and at home. 
• FlipQuiz™ has created a beautiful game board that will grasp the attention of all students. 
• Not only can you add your questions to each of your game boards, but you can also add the answers if you so desire. This allows you to be virtually hands-free as you walk around the classroom hosting the game.
