Last year I came across Proprof's Brain Games maker which was a brilliant resource that allowed you to create brain games and embed them into a blog or web space.

This year Proprof's have continued to add to their stable of high quality and totally free educational products with their new quiz school.

Quiz School is the quiz maker of choice for many. It offers the many cutting-edge industry features such as statistics, analytics, geographic user identification, flexible result types, style customizations and seamless integration with other websites. Quiz school also supports a wide variety of quiz question styles so you can choose the right ones for your quiz. It is like "YouTube Of Quizzes", where online quizzes can be easily created, tagged, discussed and shared across the web, much like YouTube allows for videos.

ProProfs Quiz School creates a social environment around online quizzes for "fun" as well as "learning". With a focus on flexibility, the many features within the site can be combined so that you can make your own quiz for a wide variety of applications like exams, recruitment, online tests, training or just plain fun quizzes. You can use Quiz School to create a free quiz for your classroom, company, blog or friends.

There are many different styles of quiz available and below is a a presentation displaying what ProProf's offers. Check it out here.

How can I integrate this into my classroom? I would recommend getting your kids to create a series of games related around a theme. For example if you were studying Antarctica you could have some word searches about famous explorers, some picture slide puzzles of glaciers and penguins maybe a hangman game about weather conditions. There is a multitude of games to choose from all you need to do is create a shared class blog or wiki space and let the kids upload their games and there you have an instant literacy session next week solving them all.

I have included a sample below of a ProProf game and you can access the site here.
