Overview
...

Factile as a Jeopardy question website and Buzzonk as a buzzer for every student in your classroom is a great combination. These two tools work in conjunction with one another, although both can be used on their own. Factile is a free online tool that allows teachers to create Jeopardy style games for review. This can be especially helpful for reviewing units prior to unit exams or quizzes. To step up the feeling of Jeopardy, Buzzonk is an online buzzer app that allows for precise timing when answering questions so that students can feel like they are really buzzing in! It also allows for the teacher to see who was first to avoid arguments about fairness.
