Description:

Students will be required to log in with a Pin number using a nickname that allows them to remain anonymous. Questions will be displayed on a large screen with four graphic shapes along with a countdown timer, and students will respond using their internet-enabled digital device. Students will choose, from four options, the possible answer by selecting the graphical shape, which they believe is correct, and will receive instant feedback accordingly. After each question, the game will rank players based on their speed and accuracy. The system will award a higher score to the student who enters the correct answer first. At the end of the quiz, the names of the top five players will be displayed on the leaderboard. The results can then be downloaded to highlight problematic questions and identify students who may be struggling.
