Teaching is evolving, and so are the tools that power it. With digital platforms opening new doors, Mert Atasal, an English teacher from Turkey, is transforming his classroom by integrating Quizizz into his daily lessons. His journey highlights how technology can boost engagement, streamline assessments, and transform language learning.
Mert began his teaching career at 22 and, now at 32, he brings a decade of experience to his dynamic role. Working at an international school that uniquely blends German, English, and Turkish, Mert has taught a wide range of learners—from adults to primary, middle, and high school students.
Currently, he focuses on teaching English, handling prep classes and grade 11. Mert’s journey is deeply rooted in his desire for meaningful connections and it continues to drive his commitment to education.
While searching for engaging quiz content online, Mert stumbled upon Quizizz. He recalls that its intuitive interface and dynamic format stood out and offered a refreshing alternative to other platforms.
“The fact that I could easily find quizzes on nearly any topic needed for my lessons convinced me to integrate Quizizz into my teaching,” he shares. “I’ve now been using the platform for about three to four years.”
Mert goes on to outline the different ways in which Quizizz reshaped his approach to teaching.
Each week, Mert hosts a dedicated quiz session that not only tests vocabulary and grammar, but also injects fun into the learning process.
The platform’s analytics provide clear feedback, allowing him to fine-tune lesson plans based on real-time data and address learning gaps.
Mert believes Quizizz levels the playing field by enabling even the quietest students to participate. As students see their scores improve, their confidence naturally blossoms.
During vocabulary practice sessions, Mert noticed an interesting trend: students who repeatedly scored low began taking detailed notes and actively sought clarifications.
This proactive effort had a two-fold effect: it improved their vocabulary retention and enabled Mert to rearrange classroom groups for better support and collaboration. Insights like these demonstrate how interactive assessments can drive individual improvement and overall classroom dynamics.
