Have you been in the movie theater and just a few minutes before the preview begins, a movie trivia would appear on the screen where you would try to pick the correct answer either in our minds or out loud with our movie companions? You only have under a minute to answer the trivia. You just played a short game because it piqued your interest and also the trivia made the moment move quicker while waiting for the show to begin.
In all education levels, we are seeing more teachers and instructors incorporating some gaming activity to stimulate the learners cognitive skills as well as connecting with the subject.
One of the PIDP 3240 students shared an article which is an interesting read about 4 free online interactive quizzes educators can provide to their students.
The one that interest me the most is Triventry, which is basically, where the instructor creates the quiz and host it on the screen in class, and the students can answer the quiz using the smartphones, tablets, or computers during class time. I think this is good for review, pre-assessment,and post assessment. This could help the instructor to see how engaged the students are in the subject and also how well they are understanding the materials. Check the website: www.triventry.com
Quizalize is a free online quiz activity the instructor can implement to their students learning tool. The teacher customizes the quiz according to the length, the style, the subjects and many more. The students can answer the questions from their devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers. This quiz encourages the students to learn and compete with other students. During the post-quiz, the instructor can assess the quality of the exam and how well the students responded to it.

Apparently it is a very popular online quiz. This interactive activity provides a variety of options for the instructor to customize the quiz. One can add pictures, and videos to the quiz, and also have the choice to create a game or learning style. The website is https://getkahoot.com/ and I provided a YouTube video of a tutorial of Kahoot.
