New Tech V: Proprofs Quizmaker


Finally I'd like to quickly comment on ProProfs Quiz Maker. This site allows for you to create and take quizzes. I think this is a wonderful platform for teachers to use. I would love to have online practice quizzes available to my students to help them prepare for exams. 


There are so many options of what can be done. 


Quizzes can be multiple choice, fill-in the blank, true/false, or essay. You can then decided if you want the correct answer to appear after the question is answered or once the whole quiz is completed, if at all. An explanation of why the answer is correct can be provided as well. This feature would be great especially for practice situations. 


In addition the creator can track the results of the quizzes. I would then be able to see which questions many students struggled with. I could then assess it and decide if I need to go over that material again or if it was just a bad question. 


I would use this resource for all grade levels. And K-12 teachers get to use this tool for only $3.97/month whereas anyone else would spend about $40/month. A downside would be the cost although it's not very high. 


I can't wait to do a pre-test with my first year students to see what knowledge they bring with them to Spanish I.
