Blooket - Tech Tool

Blooket is a great learning experience for students. Similar to Kahoot, Blooket is a web-based quiz platform intended for group competition or solo study.  Not only is it fun, but it's also an incredibly effective way to generate student engagement and educational learning.  This is an alternative option to reading or studying from a traditional textbook.  By creating memorable experiences with various classroom content, students learn the information without even noticing! This tool can also be used by teachers to assign games for independent practice or homework.

How it works:

 

This tech tool is built for classrooms.  It is very easy to play Blooket.  First, the teacher chooses a question set, either by creating their own, importing one that was used previously or using the search function which can direct you to many attractive options found in the Blooket database. Next, the teacher selects a game mode from the numerous unique options available that are intended to engage the students and spark initial interest.  Once the question set and game modes are selected, the teacher can then host a game and this is when the students are able to join, simply by inputting the game ID.  As the game begins, students will be engaged in a very interactive experience, answering questions posed by the teacher.  Teachers have the ability to create question sets to be used as a review for what was previously covered in class that day or week. Once all the questions are answered and the time is up, the game is done.  Blooket then creates detailed score reports and question analysis, which helps teachers easily understand how their students performed on that particular topic, and identify areas that may need to be revisited or reviewed again.
