There are many web tools that you can create quizzes, today I would like you to meet with Quizpoo which is a very simple way to create online quizzes and share them with others. 

When you want to make a quiz, just give a title and two answer choices like Yes/No, True/False etc. Then, follow the next step and start writing your questions. Don’t forget to click on the right answer below each question. When you are ready, just share it with others by mailing it to them.

When you take the quiz, it gives you immediate feedback and a gold start for your true answers. At the end, it tells you your score and gives you the option to share it with others. Take this quiz to see how it is. 

Some ideas on how to use this tool with our students:

Create a true/false quiz on a topic that you will be doing. It could be good how much the students know about this new topic.

Give a quiz at the end of a topic/unit to check how much the students have learnt.

Ask students to create quizzes about the unit/book or the subject that they have just learnt and share their quizzes with others students.

Create a true/false quiz at the beginning of the year about yourself and share it with your students. That would be a cool way for students to learn about things about their teachers.
