Goosechase vs Quizizz for Schools: Which is a better fit?

Eric B.: Hi, my name's Eric. I am an elementary school STEM lab teacher. I work for a medium-sized school district. And talking about the app Goosechase, I would give it five out of five stars. I use Goosechase as an engagement tool for both my elementary school students and my high school driver's training students. This app is a scavenger hunt app where it allows kids to go find items that they can use. They can take pictures, they can take video, they can put in text results, or they can even take GPS settings. And by having that both fine-motor and gross-motor opportunities, kids get engaged. They also get into teams so that they get to work in small groups, which is very exciting for kids. And as you know, kids love working with portable devices, whether they be iPads for the elementary kids, or the high school students, their own personal phones. And it is thrilling for them, no matter what content is involved. I like Goosechase for many things, but one thought off my head was I like how they adapted to the needs of teachers. For example, a lot of my high school students don't have cellular access on their phone. They just have phones that have wifi access. So what they did was they allowed students to take pictures and then upload them later once they were on wifi. This allows kids and high school kids to move away from the wifi opportunity to take pictures for certain missions or challenges and then upload them later. And I really was appreciative that they made that adjustment recently. One thing I would like to see change in Goosechase is for my elementary school kids, even my kindergarten students, many of these kids are pre-language learners, and so the instructions for each challenge or mission is in text. So I wonder if they could maybe use a voice reader so that when kids opened up a mission, they could hear what they were going to look for as opposed to having to read the text. They do include opportunity where you can put in pictures and video links, but I'd like to see if there was an opportunity where they could code the situation where they could make the text be read to kids, so those kids could be involved as well.

Florencia: Hello, my name is Florencia. I work for Sunrise School and I give Quizizz a four from five. Before using Quizizz, we were using just different questions for the end of the class, and then we realized that playing was the best way to learn. Quizizz was good because as they play, each of them on their phones, it was a way of using their phone and playing learning, and it was fine because they were competing with each other. First or second time that we use it, it was hard to think properly the questions we were going to do, but after that, it was so quick. I think it's a really good way to make your students to get in a game where learning fast and as they play, so that's why I use Quizizz, because it makes them play while they're learning.
