Use Live Whiteboard for Instructor-Paced Sessions and Live Lessons

The Live Whiteboard on Quizizz lets you elaborate and highlight elements to further student engagement and interaction. It helps your students understand better by enabling it on an ad-hoc basis during Instructor-paced sessions and live lessons.

You can check for student understanding, engagement, and interaction and modify your instructions based on real-time insights into student activity. You can also pull up every student's activities on a live whiteboard to showcase an example to your class to enhance learning.
