20. Quizziz is similar to nearpod and kahoot
Quizziz is similar to nearpod and kahoot. It has searchable, public assessments. Students look at their device when using. Other features: math symbols, highlight key words with red, green or blue text, make your own memes.

The other thing that I like about Quizizz is that it is very easy to use other people’s questions to make your own quiz. I like that you can share on google classroom and make it a homework assignment.
