Common Core Quest - Math and ELA Quizzes
Pros: With detailed videos and challenging quizzes, students get immediate feedback and take control of their learning.
Cons: There's only one quiz per standard.
Bottom Line: Test prep made easy empowers teachers and students to focus on areas needing improvement.
Teachers could use Common Core Quest as a planning tool to find videos to correlate to each standard and then use them for whole-class instruction. They could use it as a pre-test tool to find areas where each student needs additional instruction, and then focus one-on-one or in small groups. Students could also use it individually to work their way through the curriculum for their grade level, asking for help as needed from within the app.
Common Core Quest is a teaching and assessment tool that addresses each Common Core State Standard one by one. Students create an account on their own or with a class code from a teacher, and then they select the standards they want to work with in their grade level, for either Math or Language. For each standard, students can take a quiz or view instructional videos related to the standard. After taking the quiz, students see a report of how well they did (with a target of 90 percent or better for mastery) and can review their answers or watch the videos again. Incorrect answers are explained, with a rationale offering reminders and keywords to guide students to the correct answer. Students can retake the quiz as many times as necessary until they've mastered it. After taking the quiz, students can share their results. They can email their teacher asking for help with that standard if they did not master it, or they can inform their teacher that they've mastered it or share their results via email with a parent or friend.
A selection of videos aligned for every standard is a valuable resource that can save teachers valuable prep and planning time. Teachers will still want to preview, as the quality varies for each selection and the links do take students out of the app and to YouTube. The quizzes and rationale for incorrect answers are handy, too, allowing students to work independently and communicate to teachers where they need additional instruction. The explanations for incorrect answers give students good tips for decoding questions and finding the right answers. Overall, this is a handy reference tool and valuable assessment tool for the Common Core-aligned classroom.

Great app for multi-faceted student learning!
I love CC Quest for its adaptability, the features to be able to give kids my own specific courses via the main opened.io website as well. Students enjoyed the badges and ribbons and I loved being able to get data from students even on the weekend! They found the difficulty of the questions mixed, which was good, and for the new Homework feature I would require students to still turn in their work (it rightfully so doesn't make them get the correct answer before moving on, but does let them watch a targeted video to that concept/skill.)
There are actually about 3 quizzes per standard now for many/most standards, not the one the reviewer mentions.
