Blooket, Your Local Luck Based Learning Tool

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.

I would honestly see this as an amazing teaching tool, although for this website, the pictures are SUPER OUTDATED. Even though I am a teacher, I collect some of these things called "blooks" and I have 6 chromas currently. The only reviews I see are for gold quest and that really irritates me because there is not only that, there are some game-modes that are actually fun and don't involve stealing first place from doing nothing. It also makes my students more competitive in life which can become more useful in life.
