New year, new name!

I routinely spelled Quizizz incorrectly, so my spell check is happy for the new name. From Wayground, their "new name reflects our mission to help every student find their way within the common ground of the classroom."

No worries, everything works the same, and all of your previous content is still there! Kids still join games with joinmyquiz.com, and the interface still looks similar!

Support learners with Speech-to-Text accommodation

Students can now speak their responses instead of typing. This accommodation supports learners with IEPs, ELL needs, or those who benefit from alternative input methods, helping them fully participate without lowering expectations. This option meets them where they are without lowering expectations.

Make any YouTube video interactive

Transform YouTube videos into interactive learning experiences in minutes. Take that perfect science demo or historical speech and add pause-and-think questions—no downloading, no headaches.

Give specific students hints

When students get stuck, hints offer just enough support to keep them moving forward without giving away the answer. This new accommodation helps students stay engaged and confident while showing what they know.
