Quizizz Collaboration Moment

We used Quizizz activities to review direct and indirect object pronouns in Spanish II today. We used the same program for other topics in Spanish I and III this week as well and while I like the instant feedback of right or wrong, I didn't feel as though the students were really paying that much attention to the correct answer on the ones they missed.

So today I copied the Quizizz into a word document that my students downloaded before beginning the activity. I made sure to keep the questions in the same order but forgot about keeping the questions in order as well...

The idea was that students would mark the right answer in the document after trying the question on Quizizz. However, watching first period, I noticed that it was hard for kids to switch between the program and the document (I know there is a way to have two windows next to each other on a computer screen but that is something that I do by trial-and-error not a quick two-second fix to teach them at this time).

Because of this, for my other Spanish II class, I let them work with a partner, one with the document on their screen, the other with Quizizz.

This worked great! Plus since the entire question was in the word document, that student was still working through the question not just waiting on the Quizizz partner to make a choice. I was so excited when I walked past one pair and heard them talking through the four options for the answer. I love it when I hear students working their way to a correct choice!
