Community reviews for Wizer

Worksheets have their value but can be tedious and boring. Wizer brings back a little fun, while allowing a combination of tasks types in one product.

Overall I find this to be a fantastic tool. As a World Language teacher I find the recording and video options very useful to assess student listening comprehension. The draw feature engages the artistic student and label feature makes it challenging for students as they must get it exactly to be scored as correct. That may be a drawback if capitalization and spelling don't matter but as a German teacher those features do matter. The print version does use a lot of paper but if you only need a few copies as a back up for students who do not have a charged device it is not a big deal.

I love this product as a teaching tool. You can create your whole lesson within the Wizer.me environment including learning objectives, videos, links to other web resources and formative and summative assessments. Technical support for this product is also superior. If I had questions, they were answered almost immediately. They are also trying to improve the site by adding graphic organizers and the auto save feature. Our administrative staff have used it for professional development activities too. I highly recommend Wizer.me.

There are great question options that many other sites lack. You are able to easily insert YouTube videos and other content. As the teacher you can provide written or verbal feedback to your students. This site also tells you how long it took a student to complete the assignment and there is a download option for responses. My students love completing these assignments because they have control over the content and it provides them all the resources they need to complete the assignment all in one place. The templates provided are all beautiful and you can copy content from another user or create your own.

When it comes to Wizer.Me, I really like the variety of question types, the automatic grading, and the immediate feedback. One way I think Wizer.Me could better serve students is if it had a function that allowed students to collaborate on an assignment. I think that would open up even more possibilities for using Wizer.Me in my classroom. Additionally, the reports section for student answers is not as user-friendly as it could be. When I try to look at student answers, it often appears that the formatting is off and I can only see a tiny piece of the assignment at a time, which makes it a little more challenging to look at an individual student's work. I do really like that the reports show me how much time a student spent on an assignment as that can often provide a lot of insight if a student doesn't do very well.
