How to use it in class

Teacher quick start (2 minutes 20 seconds)

Sign in, pick or make a quiz, start a game, and read the class results. The steps are written on screen and in the captions.

Whole class: a live game

The teacher starts the game and puts the join code or QR code on the projector. Every student joins from their own phone, tablet or Chromebook and answers each question at the same time. The teacher leads the pace: after each question the class sees the right answer, and only the teacher sees how many got it right and the wrong answer that pulled students in, with why.

Small groups: team battles

Turn on teams before the game, and students are placed in teams as they join (or pick one). A team scores the average of its members, so every student counts and no one carries a table. Teams work well for review days and for classes that are new to the game.

On their own: exit tickets and homework

Choose Self-paced instead of Play. Students open the link or enter the code and answer at their own pace, in class, after school or at home. A challenge stays open for as long as the teacher sets, up to 14 days, and the teacher can close or extend it.

How the teacher sees what was done: while the challenge is open the teacher’s screen shows how many have finished and the live class view. When it closes, the results are saved to Results by class and by question (the most-missed questions and what to re-teach), the same as a live game.

When to use it

An opening review of the last lesson, an end-of-lesson check, test preparation, right after a reading, and a rerun of the same quiz a week or two later to see what stuck.

What the other students do

Every student plays at once on their own device, so there is no waiting for a turn. Students without a device can share one in a team. The teacher can re-ask a missed question in one tap while the class is still in the room.
