See why educators love Classtime
The group quizzes are fun! Students always ask "Can we do it every lesson?" - it's really engaging. But what I love, even more, is the data I get about their performance - I can adapt my teaching to the exact level of the group, or even an individual student.

I am an educational consultant who uses it for SBAC prep in the classroom. I can target all of the standards with this site and even add in my own videos for students to analyze. Kids have reacted wonderfully to the puzzle and animation challenges. Kids are cheering when they get questions right and see the results on the screen.

The students love it. They are really excited when we do "group challenges". They are always sad when they don't succeed in the group challenges and this motivates them to do it again. Usually, once we have discussed the questions, they ask "Miss, can we do it again?".
