When I was in high school and at my two year college, we began using clickers as a method of assessing what students knew from a lesson that was just taught. This method was effective but not effective at the same time. Students who knew the answer would immediately click the correct button whereas you can sit for 5 minutes on the same question because one student has not answered. From class, we learned about a multitude of different free online quiz sites that we can use with our class if they have access to a computer or tablet. My favorite quiz site is Kahoot.it. I had never heard of this site before my social studies methods course but I find it very effective and fun. The website allows teacher or other students to create multiple question quizzes that range from easy to difficult and can be designed for any grade level. The website is interactive and easy to use. From using this quiz not only in my college class but in a classroom with 5th grade students, it is fun and the students seem to enjoy the "competitive" side of it. Kahoot is my new go to quiz creation site.
