Facts Quiz Frenzy: No longer a time consuming and wasteful past time

Hi Everyone! Talk about a small hiatus from the blogging world! My district really shook things up and changed lots of things for us. I was so excited and thankful.. said no teacher ever! I barely had time for anything except sleep and possible those precious few happy hours!
So I am going to dip my toes and test the water on this post. Short and sweet.


So I was searching for a new way to manage those pesky fact fluency quizzes! I wanted to find a digital way to get them done and boy did I find one! When a colleague turned me on to this, there was no return for this girl!


What is it? thatquiz.org
Why is it amazeballs? Here are a few reasons...
1. Totally customizable. You tailor it to fit your students/class.
2. Set a time limit.. YUP no more 1800s stopwatches for you folks!
3. PAPER FREE.. yes you read that correctly! I don't know about you guys but our campus was threatening people with their lives because of some tree haters on our staff! :)
4. The site grades the quiz and logs said grades after you set criteria. OMG what will you do with your spare time? No more grading?!?! Cue waterworks.
5. Provides feedback to your students with showing them their answers along with correct answers. What do you know, a teacher is now worthless. You can all go home!
6. Student friendly! It does not require much navigation on the part of the quiz takers.


Tomorrow, I will post a tutorial on how I use it and some tips/tricks! My fingers are officially getting sore from the amount of blogging I have been doing. Whew! Workout!!! Until tomorrow everyone!
