Introducing the izzit-Quizzit Contest

Just set up your classes, watch our videos, and get students taking quizzes. You’ll get entered for a drawing to win a different prize in each unlocked tier! All of our educators, working together, can help us reach our goal of 70,000 total quizzes and win great prizes along the way.

 Here’s how it works:

Here’s how it works:

Every 5 quizzes your students take, with a score of 70% of higher = 1 entry for you, the educator.

Entries accumulate all year long! (Through the contest end date of May 31, 2018)  So the more quizzes your students take, the more entries YOU get! (All entries are used in each and every drawing.)

Each individual quiz taken counts toward pushing the “Quizometer” forward to the next goal/prizes. So the more quizzes you and your fellow educators administer, the faster you unlock the prize levels!

Low Tech? No problem!
