Community Review for Quia Web
My Take
I LOVE this product!!
What I like:
1. can be shared with other teachers
2. has access to LOTS of materials other teachers have already created and those materials can be copied and tweaked
3. works for AP, ESL, Special Ed, and Gen Ed students
How could it serve kids and/or your teaching better?
I use it for review activities (especially for standardized testing and in my AP classes I use it as a review for material we covered in the first semester). The students at ALL levels perform significantly better after having played the games. I also LOVE it for tests because it gives FANTASTIC feedback and it can shuffle questions AND answers!
I've used it for SEVERAL years and the only constructive criticism is that it's not easy to import test questions from a test generator (you have to copy and paste) BUT that is a minor inconvenience compared to all the positive things it does.
How I Use It
I use it for review activities (especially for standardized testing and in my AP classes I use it as a review for material we covered in the first semester). The students at ALL levels perform significantly better after having played the games. I also LOVE it for tests because it gives FANTASTIC feedback and it can shuffle questions AND answers AS WELL AS putting a time limit on it that makes it awesome for students with individual modifications. I use it for ALL my tests.
