This collaboration delivered an edtech power move that combines formative assessment with storytelling and accessibility. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, tech coach, or school leader, this appsmash opens the door to endless instructional possibilities.
Why appsmashing Quizizz and Book Creator just works
1. Combine storytelling + assessment for deep learning
Book Creator is known for empowering students to create multimedia-rich books that demonstrate understanding in unique and personal ways. When you pair that with Quizizz’s interactive quizzing capabilities, you give students a chance to read, reflect, and respond—all in one seamless learning flow.
In just a few clicks, you can:
- Embed a Book Creator book into a Quizizz lesson or passage
- Use AI to generate standards-aligned questions from any book
- Create interactive quizzes directly tied to student- or teacher-created content
2. Differentiate like a pro with built-in accommodations
Quizizz’s new accommodations feature lets teachers pre-set differentiated options for students—like:
- Extra time on questions
- Fewer answer choices
- Read-aloud functionality (even in other languages)
And here’s the kicker: it all happens behind the scenes. Students see the same quiz, join with the same code, but receive an experience tailored to their needs. No extra logins. No separate versions.
3. Student-created content becomes interactive learning
What if your students could quiz each other on their books and projects? They can.
Students can:
- Embed their own Book Creator books into Quizizz
- Write reflection or comprehension questions for peers
- Share links to their quizzes for peer-to-peer engagement
This turns traditional book reports into interactive, gamified presentations—making student voice and choice the center of the learning experience.
