    I like Quizizz, I especially like that its just academic software that you can add a bit of the competitice element into. It encourages students concentrate and focus to answer the question quickly but accurately. The con of not being able to import questions from other platforms is something they should seek to improve on in the future.

Purpose of Study

     The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way the world does many things, and education has not been spared. Before the pandemic, technology was a tool that educators used to enhance learning in any subject area.
