Pros & Cons of Blooket
Pros of Blooket
Blooket eases out the process of teaching for educators and makes learning very entertaining for students. Here is a list of advantages that Blooket offers to both:
- Teachers can import and use the same set of questions for different games. It even allows them to use sets created by other educators.
- Students can participate in games at their own speed to answer questions. They don’t have to wait for a timer to complete, or for other students who are slower or faster than them.
- The games on Blooket put students in competition with each other. This raises the motivation among students to perform better and stay engaged.
- The games on the platform are so entertaining that they can keep students of any age well attentive.
- Blooket is absolutely free to use and has an interesting user interface.
Cons of Blooket
As every coin has two sides, Blooket does have certain limitations and drawbacks that you shouldn’t ignore. Here is a look at the most critical ones:
- Blooket allows teachers to decide if they want to end the game at a certain time or when someone reaches a certain total. So, a student who completes it quickly may face repetitive questions when there aren’t enough of them.
- There is no built-in reader on the website. So, students will have to read each question by themselves.
- Teachers cannot customize the sets of questions created by other educators.
- If you want to view or receive the report for complete student data, you will have to get a paid account for yourself. The free version only offers a report that shows the percentage of questions that were answered correctly or incorrectly for the class and then each student.
- Some Blooket games are pretty complex, and students may not enjoy them as much as others.
