Amazing website

Overall, I think this is a great learning game website that may need to be used with a little more restrictions on students. I really like that this creates a fun environment for students to learn. Very similar to Kahoot in the quiz aspect, but with games. I personally feel like this game would be too distracting for students as they may feel more interested in playing the games as opposed to actually answering and getting the questions right.

I think it's a great teaching tool but you get out of it what you put into it for sure! The way I used it was screen projected and no purchased accounts (which students can buy on the outside.) The game allows you to restrict to the current game so all games were live with me. The game takes teacher commitment to be willing to develop content, monitor student play, and worked best for me when we reviewed and talked about the data after each game. It became part of our library visit culture, but only when used correctly and with my direct supervision. For some games my students submitted researched facts and content questions as we created games to play, which reinforced their research and fact searching! PS. I would never use this as a standalone free play activity.

Blooket has a visually appealing design, but this is a very luck based tool. Blooket has multiple choice questions, but in many game modes, the students are distracted on trying to get first, not answering the questions. The game focuses on multipliers, hacking, swapping, and more. Students who only answer a few questions can win over someone who answers over 50 questions, unlike other platforms like Kahoot which are mostly skill-based.
