Quizzing Game Tool
Tool I used: I used Quizziz, which is a fun tech tool that allows for teachers to make quizzes on any subject. They make it fun with different question types: multiple choice, poll, fill-in-the-blank, and open-ended. There's also fun themes, music, and letterboards that make it more engaging for students. This resource is a fun way for teachers to get information from their students and the students have fun doing it.
Danielson Tie-In: This tool can be linked to Domain 1b because it demonstrates knowledge of students. Teachers can use quizziz to find out a lot from their students. They could make fun check ins about how they are doing or they can make it content based and see where the students are with the lesson. Quizziz also ties in to Domain 1d because it demonstrates knowledge of resources, using different internet resources is very important in teaching.
Evaluation of Tech Tool: I will definitely be using this tool in my future classroom because it is fun and engaging. My students will have a fun time because it is interactive with the whole classroom and I will get to gather information about where they are in the lesson or whatever topic I choose.
Iste and 4C's Tie-in: This quizziz on a book club survey connects to the ISTE standard knowledge constructor because the students will get to use a digital tool for their learning and advancement with knowledge. Also, they will evaluate the tech tool in their own way based on whether or not it helped them better understand the lesson. It ties in to the 4 C's because it communicates to the teacher at how well the students are doing, and it helps the students with collaboration because they'll get to see where their peers are at with the quiz game.
