Technology is actively redefining the way we teach, making abstract concepts tangible and learning truly engaging. Uduakobong Udo Udombat, a computer science teacher, is leveraging Quizizz to transform assessments and lesson planning in an international school in Vietnam.

A Dynamic Journey in Education

With experience spanning from lower secondary ICT to A-level computer science, he has built a career dedicated to transforming learning. Now, teaching at an international school in Vietnam, Uduakobong brings his expertise to a diverse group of secondary students preparing for international examinations.

Embracing Quizizz : From Basic Assessments to Deep Insights

About six years ago, Uduakobong first encountered Quizizz, a platform that immediately caught his attention. Initially, he used it simply to administer quizzes and record which students passed. However, as schools embraced digital learning during COVID-19, he began exploring the platform’s broader potential.

Community-powered resources: The platform’s extensive library and community-generated content allowed him to adapt ready-made quizzes to suit his syllabus without starting from scratch.

Flexible deployment: Whether printing worksheets for offline use or sharing online links, Quizizz seamlessly integrated into his day-to-day teaching, both for formative and summative assessments.

Transforming Classroom Engagement

Here’s how Quizizz has influenced Uduakobong’s teaching style and noticeably boosted student engagement in his classrooms:

Instant feedback and repetition

Using mastery mode, if a student answers incorrectly, the question is repeated until they get it right. This process deepens understanding and builds confidence.

Team and Classic modes

By enabling Team mode, Uduakobong fosters collaboration and healthy competition among students. The platform’s various modes keep even the most challenging topics interactive and fun.
