Quizizz: An interactive application for teaching and learning?
The younger generation in this modern era wants something instant. They often read school material on the internet. The main reason is that it is more practical and faster to access. One of them is a webpage called Quizizz. This online web is widely used by teachers and students to access assignments, exams, and materials. There are many advantages to this website. One of the advantages that most users feel is that it is free to use. Both teachers and students do not need to pay in advance when they want to make or answer questions. Another advantage is Quizizz's ability to easily integrate with Google Classroom. So through google classroom, teachers can easily create questions and check student answers during online exams. Features that Quzziz gives when making questions are also very lit. There are lots of forms such as multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, draw, short, long answers, etc. This can improve students thinking from the low-order thinking skill (LOTS) to the high order thinking skill (HOTS). So, besides they do the assignments, students also improve their critical thinking ability.
However, with the above advantages, there are disadvantages when using this webpage. One weakness that looks glaring is that the timer setting will answer the questions. Sometimes at any time, the given timer cannot be turned off so many students use it to get more points. The next drawback is the large role of technology in accessing this online web. This should be looked at carefully because not all regions have access to good technology and the internet.

But apart from these advantages, some weaknesses are often encountered by users.
Quizizz- I have the same comments like that for pear deck with regard to language, ideas, and aesthetics. However, there are some points that I want to applaud and to criticize a bit. To start with, it is good that Billy has changed his style in writing the pros and cons by numbering them. It is clearer for the readers. However, he can make the appearance better by observing proper spacing, margins, fonts, and colors. Another thing is that Billy can write an additional introduction and concluding lines especially for the readers like asking them how they are in the beginning, and wishing them luck in the end, and things like that. This way, he can attract more readers for his blog.
