Great quiz software with a gaming element
Overall, I think this is a great learning game website that may need to be used with a little more restrictions on students. I really like that this creates a fun environment for students to learn. Very similar to Kahoot in the quiz aspect, but with games. I personally feel like this game would be too distracting for students as they may feel more interested in playing the games as opposed to actually answering and getting the questions right.

A great game with great results when used as a teaching tool.
I think it's a great teaching tool but you get out of it what you put into it for sure! The way I used it was screen projected and no purchased accounts (which students can buy on the outside.) The game allows you to restrict to the current game so all games were live with me. The game takes teacher commitment to be willing to develop content, monitor student play, and worked best for me when we reviewed and talked about the data after each game. It became part of our library visit culture, but only when used correctly and with my direct supervision. For some games my students submitted researched facts and content questions as we created games to play, which reinforced their research and fact searching! PS. I would never use this as a standalone free play activity.

Blooket, Your Local Luck Based Learning Tool
Blooket has a visually appealing design, but this is a very luck based tool. Blooket has multiple choice questions, but in many game modes, the students are distracted on trying to get first, not answering the questions. The game focuses on multipliers, hacking, swapping, and more. Students who only answer a few questions can win over someone who answers over 50 questions, unlike other platforms like Kahoot which are mostly skill-based.

Blooket is Good For Educating
I would honestly see this as an amazing teaching tool, although for this website, the pictures are SUPER OUTDATED. Even though I am a teacher, I collect some of these things called "blooks" and I have 6 chromas currently. The only reviews I see are for gold quest and that really irritates me because there is not only that, there are some game-modes that are actually fun and don't involve stealing first place from doing nothing. It also makes my students more competitive in life which can become more useful in life.

Brings out the worst
I do not like Blooket. While the kids are engaged, the ability to steal, trade, and basically swindle their classmates out of their winnings really brings out the worst in my students. There are rewarding, engaging apps out there that don't have the negative aspect that this does.

Booklet
Overall, a great program for engaging content review. There are many few pre-made question sets ready to go (best to review the questions first! Since they are user-submitted, there can be mistakes!) I pay for the BlooketPlus subscription service which allows you to duplicate and edit pre-made questions sets. I and personally very worth it for the frequency I use it!

5/5!
I think Blooket is a great teaching and if you are still using Kahoot you're missing out.

It's really good!
Life will not always give you an easy time just because you answer right, other people will try and take you down. Personally, the goal is to keep going even if you are the lowest grade. Yes, you can steal from other people, people will get mad and angry and competitive. But it's supposed to create chaos and unity over this. I really enjoyed this too when playing with them or with other people because it gives people a sense of winning. "It's unfair to the kids because blah blah blah!" As someone who observes kids, they really like and and it makes them learn because, well, they want the point and they want to be first!

blooket is a decent game
I thought it was a decent learning app. But I don't like how only the people with the most "coins" or "points" end up winning instead of the people with the most improvement or best grades.
