Blooket Play for students & teachers

Promotes easy learning – Students carry a load of bulky books even today. All the surroundings have changed but the education system still follows traditional methods of teaching and learning. Earlier students as well as teachers had long attention spans but with the advancement of technology, especially smartphones, the attention span of students has reduced drastically. Even college students nowadays cannot concentrate on a lecture for above 30 minutes. Teachers, on the other hand, have to attend to a larger number of students nowadays when compared to previous times. In such an arrangement the teacher is unable to personalize the issues faced by the students. So to eliminate all this, Blooket Play, an interactive and customized game-based platform has been designed so that teachers as well as students can reduce the pressure and make the best use of the Blooket platform.

Free community Platform – So far the Blooket Play site is free. You won’t be asked to pay either to the “Blooket Join” menu or the “Blooket Sign up” menu. Still, you have to sign up if you are a teacher and want to customize the quiz for students which will be only possible post you finish the “Blooket Sign Up” step. The same goes for the students as well, you only need to enter the code provided by your teacher and you can access the set of quizzes for free. The Blooket site has a strong community that mainly consists of educators and students and they all contribute to the site in their own way.

‘N’ number of ways to customize your riddle game – You as a teacher can customize the questions, game, picture, files, and much more according to your own interest. You will get three modes of “Creation Method” and those three methods “Manual”, “Quizlet Import”, & CSV Import, and then select Create. You can import questions on this platform. Based on your preferences, you can keep the quiz “public” or choose to be “private”.

Best learning method for students – After the launch of the Blooket Play platform, students now do not take studies as a burden. Gaining knowledge through fun will help students in exploring their abilities and develop creative mindsets. Since Blooket Play is a game mode for learning, it keeps students hooked up in studies longer. After the game is over, a detailed report of the student’s performance is sent to the educator and he will be able to figure out the areas of improvement in a child. Learning with this newly developed tool will help in mitigating paper waste and will benefit the environment for good.
