Quiz star, an online quiz making resource, is an excellent resource to use to engage student interaction, learning, and solidify computer research skills. Quiz star could be used to allow students to take quizzes at home. The home setting is less stressful and could allow students to perform better. It could also allow students to research answers in their books or online. Using this resource in a in class setting could allow teachers to require students to research their answers online and eliminate the opportunity for students to use their books, thus enhancing their online research abilities and opening up options for future online research assignments for any class.
This resource is potentially a benefit for all teachers. It could be used for research practice purposes, academic testing or quizzing purposes and can be used across the board of classroom subjects and topics because the teacher makes the quiz and available options. The quiz can be easy or difficult depending on the teacher’s knowledge of the students and their abilities as well as their own academic needs. The quiz can also be administered in multiple languages which is important for teachers struggling to assist English Language Learners in their classroom with limited resources.
The resources on this website are great. There are many ways to integrate technology into the classroom. Children and teachers alike will reap so many benefits from the use of technology. Also, many parents enjoy the technology because they have ways nowadays for parents to see what the children are learning in the class.
ReplyDeleteI like the quiz star because it cuts the mundane out of quizzes. Students won't have to so stressed out on what they are being tested on. I like the idea of them using it at home, I think that this will produce higher tests scores. (This will make your principal a very happy person!!!)
ReplyDeleteThis is great practice for any student. Taking tests are stressful and harder for some than others. I like this reference. I found that when I went back to school, I didn't have the skills needed to take tests online. It was really hard not having the paper in front of me and being able to underline and analyze paper text. It takes time to adapt to this way of learning. Good Idea!
ReplyDeleteThat seems like such a wonderful opportunity for students and a great resource to teachers. I didn't realize how much the online quizzes could benefit both. It would definitely be great training for the students on their ability to research topics online and to take quizzes without pencils and paper.
ReplyDeleteAll of the resources on this site were really helpful and interesting. They are definitely possible resources to use in my classroom. Quiz Star is definitely beneficial to the students because they have the opportunity for great practice before taking tests, and can avoid some of the reoccurring stress from them.
