A Sample Quiz that we made from ProProfs
Description
Our placement teacher was Ms. Cuttle and she wanted us to upload some practice quizzes for her Accounting and AP Economics class on her wordpress website. She sent us the files that we pasted to the quiz making website and we posted it to her Accounting wordpress website afterwards.
Before creating the quizzes online, we considered Ms. Cuttle's preferences and expectations. We did our research of quiz platforms available on the Web and quiz plug-ins on Wordpress. We made sample quizzes on each platform and we had Ms. Cuttle decide which quiz platform she wants to use. Ms. Cuttle chose ProProfs because the quiz platform met most of her expectations.

Technology Used and their Possible Uses in Other Classes/Subject Areas
ProProfs Quiz Maker
ProProfs is a free online quiz maker where you can create online tests, quizzes and exams for anyone, especially for students. You can not only make online quizzes with ProProfs but also create a survey or create a poll to gather feedback from quiz-takers. In addition to this, the online quiz platform provides you detailed reports and statistics for your quizzes, which help you analyze and understand the performance of the quiz-takers better. We used this web-based software because of these features. It basically has everything you would want on a quiz platform.
Applications
Proprofs can be use by teachers in any classes for creating either graded quizzes online or a review material for their students. It is a great option because it can track the student's score and provide a detailed report for the teachers. For students, ProProfs is a huge quiz bank where they can find quizzes made by other teachers to review from.
Wordpress and plug-ins
Wordpress is a free web-based program that allows users to build and maintain a website or a blog. Although Wordpress is not the most user-friendly website builder there is, it offers unique features such as plug-ins. A plug-in adds a specific function and action to your wordpress website. For example, in our case, we installed quiz plug-ins on Ms. Cuttle's testing site. This plug-in allowed us to create basic sample quizzes on the website and post it.
Teachers can choose Wordpress to create their websites if they are after the plug-ins that wordpress offers. There are wordpress plug-ins designed for each subject such as Science, Math, History, English and etc.

Google Drive and Google Docs
Google Drive and Google Docs also played a big part on our Placement. This is where we shared and saved most of our resources in this placement. Google Docs lets you create different kinds of online documents and work on them with other people at the same time. All Google documents are saved in Google Drive.
Anything is possible in Google Docs. This is a very helpful tool especially when you are working with other people. It allows you to communicate with them while working on a project. Teachers or students can use it in any subject areas.

To Conclude
For this project we decided to use the ProProfs quiz maker application. Of all the applications we created quizzes for this one was the best. It offered a clean and easy to use interface and it was extremely user friendly. This application software was very simple navigate and offers many other uses other than quiz application software, however it doesn't allow the user to track the progress of students with a free account, yet among the other quiz application software this one was the best.
After completing the quizzes for Ms Cuttle we showed her how to use the software application, we embedded the first quiz on her test website to show her the interface and user experience. She will post the quizzes on her website in order for her students to use and review class material.
