Department Collaboration
If you have the time and space to do so, work with your team to create a Blooket for each of your units. You can all work together to determine the most essential information students need prior to summaive assesments to create a shared resource for years to come. Having more hands in the project can help you to create larger questions sets to improve the gameplay elements for the students. Then you can host a session where multple classes compete together.
