ONLINE QUIZ

Bible Quiz

Hello, readers. I would like to write my 5th post about online quiz. In this chance, I chose kahoot as the online quiz-generating site. Okay, let’s start!

As I mentioned before, I chose to use kahoot as my quiz-generating site. Kahoot is a collection of questions on specific topics. Created by teachers, students, business-people and social users, they are asked in real-time, to an unlimited number of “players”, creating a social, fun and game-like learning environment. How to make kahoot will be mentioned below:

1.   Open your internet application (Mozilla, Chrome, Flock, etc).
2.  Type www.kahoot.com
3.  Click “enter”, and it will enter to kahoot homepage.
4.  Choose “Sign Up” if you do not have an account, and “Sign in” if you have already had an account.
5.  Choose “As a Teacher”.
6.  Choose “Sign Up with Google”.
7.  Choose the email that will be used for Kahoot, and it will enter to kahoot account home screen.
8.  Choose “My Kahoot”.
9.  Choose one technique you want to use (Quiz, Jumble, Discussion, or Survey). Here, I chose Quiz.
10. Fill the title, description, language, audience, credit resources, and intro video (if there is any).
11.  Then, choose “Ok, Go”.
12. Choose “add question”, then type the question, and the multiple choices.
13. You can add a video or a picture if you have by uploading it.
14. If you have done with the questions, choose “Save”.
15. Thus, the quiz has been made. You can edit, preview, play, or even share it.

The benefits of using free online quiz maker is that we will not make our students feel bored in doing the test because by using online quiz, the students do not need to write more. Moreover, they can know the result directly after finishing the quiz. It is also very good for the teacher since the teacher does not need to correct or check the students’ works one by one. It is very tiring and boring, isn’t it? Hahaha.

The weakness of using online quiz is that we might make the students become lazy because they do not write anymore. From the physic thing is that online quiz needs internet as the “fuel”. However, as we know that we cannot keep it well. Connection becomes the first problem when we are using online quiz. So, make sure that our connection to the “beloved” internet is good enough for doing the quiz and/or test. For kahoot itself, I think the weakness is that kahoot does not have a complete quiz technique.

Other ideas how I will use online quiz in language classroom is that I will give my students the explanations of certain materials by online quiz. I also can use online quiz to do a pre test for the students in the beginning of the semester to measure their skill (in grammar / vocabulary / reading / listening / speaking / writing). I can also use online quiz for giving the students post test after they learnt something.

Yeah, I think that’s all what I can share about using online quiz, especially kahoot because I used kahoot for my example.

Here is my online quiz example from www.kahoot.com:
