• 2 Truths & 1 Lie
• Educational Duct Tape Question: What tool or strategy would you use to do a whole class review game with formative assessment included?
• Ask a generative AI tool to create a gamified set of questions for a specific standard or topic with point or monetary values that reflect the depth or challenge level of the specific question.
• Use that set of questions for a Jeopardy game, in a Google Form, or in another platform like Quizizz.
• If you have it organize the questions, answers, and point values correctly, you can easily turn them into a spreadsheet upload for Quizizz or Blooket.
• Quizizz - use AI features to generate questions from topics, uploaded documents, articles, etc or use the AI feature to change questions to being a “real-world scenario.”
