Teachers and students are raving about Quia...
"We are a school which has struggled badly in the past to pass our State-mandated Standards of Learning tests. Last year, we FINALLY passed, for the first time. I am convinced the number one reason we did was because of QUIA."
David Hillgrove, history teacher Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A. |
"The quiz creator is a life saver and the ability to import Excel lists and instantly create games is incredible. I love the site and I will subscribe again. Grades have greatly improved, especially by giving students instant feedback on their exams."
Dean Gonzalez, high school IT teacher Miami, Florida, U.S.A. |
"I have been using Quia for about 3 years now and my students really love it - and so do I!! I especially want to thank you for the new improved class rosters - it is great to be able to look at individual classes and I also appreciate being able to export the marks to Excel and then to my mark book. Many thanks for making learning fun and for allowing the feedback to quizzes and homeworks!"
Karen Jones, teacher Cardiff, United Kingdom |
"I think Quia has increased students' grades. The students can take quiz sessions as often as they like in preparation for a test, while I only grade the first one I receive to ensure that they cannot cheat. I also allow no feedback until test time arrives and the date for getting assignments in has passed. For study purposes, they can have all the feedback they want.... I love Quia, and we are currently looking at Quia for the whole school."
Ken Hackman, high school zoology teacher Madison, Mississippi, U.S.A. |
"Every time I renew my subscription, there are added and improved features. Your site allows me to create activities that are directly aligned with my text book. Thank you so much for providing a valuable teaching tool at such an economical price."
Twyla Gerdes, middle school teacher Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A. |
"Students like doing Quia exercises and quizzes online and say it improves their retention of words. I like the feature that allows me to grade by question and make students' names anonymous--I'm much more objective with the answers."
High school German teacher Iowa, U.S.A. |
"I used to have trouble in algebra, holding out a C+ average for quite some time. With Quia, I have pulled up my average to a solid A-."
8th grade student Maryland, U.S.A. |
"I use Quia to create games for students to use as a study tool, and for surveys. Thanks to Quia, students are putting more time in studying, both with the games I create/use and the paper study guides they are given. Once they get rolling with a game they continue with the study materials distributed in class. Parents have noticed a change in study habits and motivation as well."
Elizabeth Bogardus, 6th grade English and social studies teacher Walpole, Massachusetts, U.S.A. |
"My students' grades have improved and the mainstream (classroom teachers) are thrilled. I am able to design material that directly correlates to the classroom content material. This allows students to practice with the information that they are required to know for assessments."
Renee Zebersky, special education teacher, grades 1-6 Oceanside, New York, U.S.A. |
"Instant feedback for students is great, saves time for me the teacher in grading. Love being able to upload images and simultaneously creating activities that students can use from home. It is great addition for any class."
Rachael Jaster, art and computer instructor, grades 7-12 Nicollet, Minnesota, U.S.A. |
"I use Quia to create games to help my students learn and quizzes to assess their progress. Students' performance in class has improved, especially in the area of grammar and mechanics."
7th grade teacher Maine, U.S.A. |
"I use Quia as a foundational component in my instruction. I input information on a chapter by chapter basis and develop games related to the chapters. The students love it."
Errol A. Jones, special education teacher, grades 9-12 Houston, Texas, U.S.A. |
"I am a teacher and a user of Quia for the past 3 years. I teach in Henrico County, VA which is in our third year of a one to one technology initiative. I have been an advocate of your program for years.... The reason I'm writing is that I just logged in for the first time in a week and NOW I CAN IMPORT QUESTIONS from other quizzes and activities! I really really love you guys for adding the question import feature! Keep adding features that make my life as a teacher easier, and you guys will dominate this industry!!"
Jeff Hall, teacher Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A. |
"Quia makes it so that I don't have to spend a bunch of time mindlessly marking exams. I appreciate this utility because it frees me up to do other things. Plus, I can keep my student records online (and reduce my paper load). I now use Quia to run ALL of my exams."
Rick Delainey, history teacher, grades 10-12 Saskatchewan, Canada |
"Online grading of quizzes and tabulation of surveys is wonderful! Being able to go back into a quiz, review it, and change the grade if necessary is also a very nice feature. I also love all the different formats available for the activities--they keep students' attention. With Quia, I love that I can tailor the activities to the exact needs of my students."
Math teacher, grades 7 and 8 Wisconsin, U.S.A. |
"As a motivational tool Quia is priceless. I have seen significant progress in some pupils who usually struggle to make sense of the subject. But let's not forget that one can also create exacting activities for the most advanced students (eg my sites on French politics and advanced French vocabulary).... One of the best things about Quia is that you can leave students to access and practise the activities at home in their own time--and it seems to be appreciated by parents when you can mention the website activities you have created! Thanks to Quia, even mediocre computer-users like myself can appear to be clever!"
John Allinson, secondary school teacher Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom |
"My students who use Quia really show great improvement in class. Because they already know the vocabulary they are able to improve in speaking much faster. It is also great for remediation and enrichment without me having to do a great deal extra."
Jodi Toole, Spanish teacher Moss Point, Mississippi, U.S.A. |
"I have had good feedback from students; one just recently wrote to say, "Thanks for moving to Quia; I love that place." All in all, yours is the best site I've seen and I am recommending it to my peers."
Linda Robinson, teacher of Latin, literature, and philosophy Longville, Louisiana, U.S.A. |
"My students' grades have significantly improved now that they can play games that enable them to review and practice language grammar and vocabulary on their own."
Deborah Lemon, college Spanish teacher Fremont, California, U.S.A. |
"Students' test grades are greatly improved by using the games to study for their tests."
Melissa Lybyer, junior high social studies teacher Mansfield, Arkansas, U.S.A. |
"I wanted to thank you for being so responsive to the needs and suggestions of your users. I had written before about the small size of the font on several activities; you replied that others had also submitted similar comments and that you were looking into making improvements. You clearly followed through and the results are terrific. Your constant attention to improving the interfaces and capitalizing on the benefits of new technologies is greatly appreciated, not only by instructors such as myself, but more importantly, by our students. Keep up the great work!!"
High school Latin teacher South Carolina, U.S.A. |
"Quia has made me more aware of what I am learning and helps me feel more confident about my tests and quizzes. You have a great site going and I hope that I can use this site all the time! It is a great study tool for all my classes and I hope it will be my main source of studying!!!"
9th grade student Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A. |
"Quia saves me a lot of time by grading all of the quizzes. Also, the customer support is fantastic. I accidentally deleted a quiz session (final exam) and the Quia staff restored it for me."
High school technology teacher Texas, U.S.A. |
"I use Quia as a quiz tool for professors who want an alternate, easy, user-friendly, fast and reliable option to quizzing. i.e. getting away from the conventional way of distributing the quiz, the time constraint, the time spent grading, and all the factors that come into play. By using Quia, both professor and students have 24/7 access to the quiz, as well as grades, without much effort by the professor."
Mauricio Cadavid, university student and distance learning assistant Rancho Cucamonga, California, U.S.A. |
"I believe that the review games help the students greatly.... Just keep up the good work! I am probably your best salesperson, people in the county love it so much that I have an online class to teach people how to use it!"
History teacher Glen Allen, Virginia, U.S.A. |
"Quia has helped students to improve their self-discipline and independence in studying the material. I even have witnessed marked improvement in some students' scores after using Quia."
Maureen Burns Coutu, high school Spanish teacher Cumberland, Rhode Island, U.S.A. |
"I like all of Quia and have convinced my foreign language colleagues to use it in two different schools. I have used it myself for 5 or 6 years, and it has positively affected the grades of the students who use it."
French teacher Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. |
"Quia is marvelous! My son is high-functioning with autism. He is in collaborative classes. This semester he earned 5 As and one B on his report card. Quia is invaluable to us."
"Quia has been a smashing success with my academically at-risk students. I was just working on some new activities for the Spring semester and tried the new Flash additions. Wow! Keep up the good work. My kids will be so excited. A+++"
Carol Butchko, high school reading teacher O'Fallon, Illinois, U.S.A. |
"Quia is tremendously effective. My students have improved at least 75% of their skills in computer software knowledge. Thanks so much for this wonderful site! My hard copy tests have been abandoned and Quia is in!"
C.D. Fuentes, college computer teacher Maple Heights, Ohio, U.S.A. |
"Using Quia makes it less stressful for the students. They are able to see their grade upon completion and I am able to put the grade in the grade book immediately."
Elizabeth Atwood, 9th grade math and computer teacher Houston, Texas, U.S.A. |
"I have used Quia to give tests and quizzes and classroom activities now for almost three years. I enjoy it and would not do without it. It has saved me a massive amount of time."
Bruce Moore, middle school teacher York, Nebraska, U.S.A. |
"I'm a big fan and a heavy user now for three years. Your site just keeps getting better! Students' favorites are: (1) learning games which they use to review material (they love the "game" aspect of them); (2) having part or all of their quizzes "graded instantly" so they get immediate feedback on "how they did" and specific information on which questions they got wrong and what the correct answers are; and (3) having their own "grade book" that records all their grades and stores copies of their quizzes so they can go back over them before semester exams, etc. ALL of my students like these features, but they are especially cherished by those with ADD, learning disabilities, and those who are less capable: they LOVE that they can play the games over and over at home without anyone keeping track or seeing that it took them 17 tries before they got a good score."
"I use the quiz feature often! How wonderful to have the students immediately get their grades. How wonderful to not have to correct 72 quizzes each time a couple of classes take a quiz! ... Quia has improved the grades of my students, especially those who are kinesthetic learners. They get a real sense of accomplishment when succeeding at the matching / word search / columns / hangman / jumbled words etc."
Sharon Lee Youngs, teacher, grades 6-8 Fairview, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. |
"Quia has really helped my students improve their grades. Kids today are so computer oriented that they seem to learn material better and are more willing to work on the computer than in older, more traditional ways."
High school Spanish teacher Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S.A. |
"I believe that those students who are using Quia activities to study have greatly improved their grades. Many have commented that this is so."
Alice DeHart, high school Spanish teacher Fishers, Indiana, U.S.A. |
"Your site is fantastic; it has really added some much-needed variety to my instruction. I love the improved flash hangman and the new card faces for concentration. I hope you continue to add more activities and improved graphics."
Christian Poulin, middle school teacher Augusta, Maine, U.S.A. |
"Quia is so wonderful! It gives my students a fun way to practice and master skills, helping them to truly learn the material and effectively prepare for tests. My students come to me requesting a quiz on certain material or a particular game for a unit, and I'm able to quickly produce a study tool that fits their needs and my time schedule! THANKS!"
Sarah Gorman, 8th grade English teacher Little Rock, Arkansas, U.S.A. |
"I have been putting ALL my paper and pencil assignments on Quia, so that students do almost everything on-line. This reduces the paper flow in my classroom, provides instant feedback to students and reduces time required in class or at home to grade worksheets!"
Barry K. Thomas, teacher Temecula, California, U.S.A. |
"Quia is a powerful tool to help students learn and practice new concepts and vocabulary. I've told everyone I know about it! (I wish I were getting a commission--I'd be rich!) Keep up the wonderful work. Quia is the best value around!"
Pat Prosser, junior high, high school, and adult Spanish teacher Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A. |
"My son has a learning disability and has a very difficult time studying for tests using conventional means (text books, notes, etc.). The Quia game formats engage him. He can't help but learn!"
Parent Oak Ridge, Tennessee, U.S.A. |
"I just wanted to pass along a message of thanks. Your product has helped me out immensely. I am constantly finding new ways to apply Quia's robust functionality in my work. It's nice to see such a powerful, easy-to-use tool available at such a reasonable cost."
Corporate trainer Toronto, Ontario, Canada |
"I have been a faithful user for the last 6 years or more. I have found QUIA to be a wonderful site to help individualize language learning for students. I have introduced many new teachers and students to it--all of whom have loved using it. Thank you!"
Katherine Irwin, French and Spanish teacher Milan, Italy |
"I make a lot of Quia activities to help the students focus on what to study for the exam. Because of the activities, the students' grades improved from low 70's and 60's to 80's and 90's."
Teacher of nutrition and nursing classes Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A. |
"This past year, Quia has really helped me out. For three years now I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and I've had a very full schedule (I'm the only language teacher at our school and I teach levels 1-4 of French AND Spanish). When it came down to semester exam time, it took a long time to type in the tests, but hey, now they are done for next year. And when the kids pressed "submit"? Poof! The test was graded! You helped me survive the year!"
"I'm so grateful for all the work that you people do. It's made my life very much easier in terms of delivering varying amounts of information to varying amounts of people at varying times. I love the way that Quia plays into my vision of flexible teaching techniques. Some kids zoom right through and I can give them other activities to do that they enjoy, while we wait. It's awesome. I love just about everything about Quia! I've said it before and I'll say it again... I LOVE QUIA!"
Kevin Beaulieu, foreign language department chairman East Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.A. |
"I am currently getting my masters in Educational Administration. I am doing my research on the differences in information retention with Quia tests and traditional tests. I believe that the students will do much better with the information that they tested with on Quia. I recently gave them a survey as part of my research. Their responses were overwhelmingly for computer testing."
Chrisann Justice, 9th grade Spanish teacher Houston, Texas, U.S.A. |
"My students report that when they utilize Quia on a regular
basis, their in-class quiz scores have improved at least a
grade level if not higher!"
Carmen Andrews-Sanchez, high school Spanish teacher Henderson, Nevada, U.S.A. |
"My students love Quia. On-task behavior is phenomenal,
frustration level is non-existent, and student involvement
in their own learning is near 100%. I have heard students talking
to the computers saying 'Yes!' 'Ah!' 'Oh, that's right!'
Many students have said to other students, 'That was nice of Mr.
Belcher to let us play games all period.' They never realized
they had learned what I wanted them to."
Herbert Belcher, 7th grade geography teacher Tampa, Florida, U.S.A. |
"The games are great. Since I create them, they are always
completely in line with my curriculum. My students really love
using them."
Tracy McNichols, teacher Methuen, Massachusetts, U.S.A. |
"I am very pleased with Quia. I am able to
perform quick and accurate assessments of the
performance of individuals, classes, and year
groups. It is an excellent resource. Without
hours of hand marking and analysis I have almost
instant feedback of my students' progress and
learning."
Mike Creagh Sheffield, United Kingdom |
"Quia has become the lifeblood of my classroom.
In a continuation setting I may have 10 to 20
students in one class, all of who may be in 10 to
20 different places along the social studies
continuum. It can be hectic to keep track of so
many different subjects in one class at one time,
not to mention how difficult it makes whole-class
lessons. Quia has made it possible for me to
juggle 20 different lesson plans per class. I
don't know how I would have ever survived if I
had not stumbled across this website.... Most of
my kids have not done well in school before, and
have become conditioned to simply 'give up' or
not try at all if they sense they are going to
fail. Using the games, the practice quizzes,
etc. has really helped to alleviate a lot of the
stress on a bunch of kids who really struggle to
perform well. The number of credits my students
are earning this year is 1000x better than in
years past (literally!) -- and they are working
from harder material!!! I am so proud of them,
and grateful to Quia for making it possible. I
would recommend this website to anyone -- I've
already sold the staff at my school and they also
see Quia as a real 'answer to our prayers.'"
Jennifer Anaforian, continuation high school teacher Selma, California, U.S.A. |
"I am delighted. I am using Quia to have students
practice what they have learned about basic
computing. They are very engaged. They *love*
pointing out where I have left out answers they
believe should be included. They enjoy taking
the quiz online and seeing the results right
away."
Middle school and high school technology teacher Colorado, U.S.A. |
"The analysis of items missed, the grading, and
the reporting are fantastic. The best part is
that the material is mine and not from an author
who does not know what I stress."
David Martin, Spanish teacher San Jose, California, U.S.A. |
"I really LOVE this program online. The templates
are so easy to follow and it only takes minutes
to set up an activity. Yesterday, my students
went to the computer lab to see what 'Mr. Weaver'
was raving about. They were enthralled and
absolutely loved the activities. They thought it
was so much fun and better than 'learning.'
Little do they realize that they were in fact
learning -- the fun way! Thank you for having
this site available!"
Matthew Weaver, high school French teacher Erie, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. |
"I just want to take the opportunity to thank you
for the incredible teaching tools you have made
available to me. Quia has made my job easier,
more enjoyable and more effective. Instead of
spending time grading student work, I am able to
use that time analyzing the results. I can look
at the results of a quiz, for example, and see
right away which questions gave my students
difficulty. This, of course, helps me to
understand which concepts to re-teach or spend
more time on. I can also re-evaluate the quiz
itself. Well, you can sign me up as the
president of the Quia fan club! ... Wait, there is
another thing I must commend you on. I have had
a few occasions where I needed some technical
support. I e-mailed you my questions, and your
support team always got back to me quickly, with
excellent and personalized help.... I just felt
that I needed to thank you for your great
service. I love Quia!"
Lauren Finaldi Gurus, high school Spanish teacher Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A. |
"I was going to retire in the next couple of years
but I am so excited now with this new technology
I might stick around more years to see how it
plays out. It has made my teaching much more
enjoyable for me and the students. Quia is the
best thing for Education since the advent of
books. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Richard Kroff Tooele, Utah, U.S.A. |
"Quia is partly responsible for me becoming a more successful teacher
and for me being named as the 2002 Indiana Teacher of the Year
Runner-Up by the Indiana Computer Educators (I.C.E.). I thank you and
my students thank you!"
Rodney Perdew, history teacher Indiana, U.S.A. |
"I am a Chief in the United States Navy and I am serving with the
Marines in Okinawa, Japan. I got started with the Quia product
because my boss from Washington, D.C. challenged me to do it.
The Navy at that time did not have money to change the curriculum,
so I decided to spend the $49.00 a year out of my own pocket to
create materials on Quia. I have created two websites that I use
to help Religious Program Specialists, Corpsman, and Dental
Technicians get promoted. (We use tests in the Navy to get
promoted.) My two Class pages have gotten 6,865 hits combined,
so there are a lot of people in the Navy that are using them.
Quia sure beats having spend thousands of dollars on learning
programs. For $49 a year it is well worth it."
Joseph T. Price Okinawa, Japan |
"In the past academic year I have used Quia in working with a high
school sophomore with learning disabilities. His school had
informed his parents that he was in danger of failing in all
subjects. Together we produced nearly a hundred matching and
flashcard exercises in biology, history, and English. (It was
especially motivational to involve him in creating his own
exercises.) The results were spectacular. He went from from
F's and D's to A's and B's."
Teacher Washington, D.C., U.S.A. |
"I recently found out about Quia and I love it. I teach third grade and since this is a major standardized testing year, the students will be much more prepared after using Quia. What a wonderful resource!"
Ron Crouse, 3rd grade teacher Leesburg, Virginia, U.S.A. |
"I am a 19-year veteran teacher who LOVES teaching and introducing my students to new ways of learning. I've just discovered Quia, but I am looking forward to using all of the various components that Quia offers to assist both my fourth grade students and also my adult ed students to maximize their learning (as well as my own!) I look forward to using Quia as I prepare lesson plans and review/reinforcement activities for my students. It is refreshing to find a web site that seems to be totally committed to education and the education community!"
Jason D. Phelps, K-12 and adult education teacher Douglas, Massachusetts, U.S.A. |
"I teach an 8th grade class, but mostly I teach teachers how to incorporate technology into their curriculum. Your site has been fantastic! Easy to use...easy to teach...love the links so parents can feel involved! Thanks for a great website!"
Judy Scott, technology coordinator Houston, Texas, U.S.A. |
"Quia makes it a whole lot easier to grade quizzes and offer supplemental activities for my students to do away from school. They can practice and then take quizzes/tests to check their progress. ... If I could get all my students to access the net, my life would be easier as I would not have to grade as many papers, and I would feel at ease that my students can't go home saying 'I've got nothing to study for Spanish.' They have an entire site not only of Spanish but just about every other subject. Other teachers in my school could benefit greatly from this page as well."
Middle school teacher Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. |
"The games which include foreign language accents are great! Quia is currently my favorite site on the Internet! I can't imagine teaching without it!"
Muriel Mikulewicz, middle school Spanish and French teacher Burlington, Massachusetts, U.S.A. |
"I facilitate the use and integration of technology for teachers K-6 in three of our buildings and I train teachers in Quia's use, primarily. I love the new Rags to Riches game! I also like the Challenge Board. It is so easy to create a review in any subject. Even students can create a challenge in any area. I think Quia is an excellent tool for teachers and students. Its user-friendly interface makes the creation of learning activities easy, quick, and quite painless!"
Technology facilitator New Lenox, Illinois, U.S.A. |
"I like being able to create my own activities, so that the work is directly relevant to my students. Since discovering Quia two weeks ago I've used it with every class I teach and have told all my colleagues about it. We all agree it's a really useful and fun site for our pupils to use."
Carol Hunter, French and Spanish teacher Merseyside, United Kingdom |
"I list students' homework for the week on the site, in addition to important announcements that I make in class. I make games with the weekly vocabulary lists, so that students can practice, and have fun at the same time. I love the concentration/flash cards/find a word games because I only have to type the list once. I don't have a great deal of time to use the computer. Everything is so easy to do. I think Quia is a great tool for both teachers and students."
High school Spanish teacher Troy, New York, U.S.A. |
"I like the flexibility of personal communication with my classes and customized assignments that meet specific needs. This site is a great service!"
Vice principal and teacher San Diego, California, U.S.A. |
"I am relatively new to your site but am amazed at the things I have already found!!! I am in the processes of making games for review and will soon be using the quiz section to track my children's progress. Of all the sites I've found Quia is the most useful tool for creating homeschool activities. If I had to pick a favorite feature now I would have to say the rags to riches game template. This game makes the children feel like they are playing on a "grown-up" game show. Actually I can't wait to use the quiz section to track their progress. Thanks for developing such a wonderful site!"
Home school mother Ohio, U.S.A. |
"I have championed Quia for two years at my school. I love the additions you have made. This year I had about 2000 hits on my Quia class page, from student and parents. I love the ease of using Quia and would love to do workshops to share my enthusiasm!!! I love Quia and have turned on many teachers at my school. I have inserviced with several and they love it. My students love it, and their parents love..therefore my administrators love it too."
Dorothy Fucarino, middle school teacher Bergen County, New Jersey, U.S.A. |
"I love the way the Java quizzes work because of the instant feedback for both students and the teacher. I think Quia is a wonderful teaching tool. I already introduced it to our teachers at a summer conference I taught. I also taught the other computer instructor to use it. Actually, there isn't much teaching involved since it is so easy to use! My students LOVE getting their daily instructions on-line and also having the ability to do a test review from home on-line. Keep up the great work!"
Middle school computer teacher Vestavia, Alabama, U.S.A. |
"I love the games, because my kids think they're great. They don't think of them as extra study. Also, the parents are able to go on and see exactly what is happening in their children's classes."
Pam Freed, fifth-grade teacher Suwanee, Georgia, U.S.A. |
"I teach German in a Danish community college and have students aged between 18-24 years, all with 3-4 years German experience. Quia's really an easy-to-use web service. Once you get on, you'll notice how easy it integrates in educational and didactical connections. I use it at least 20 minutes out of 180 "educational" minutes a week."
German community college teacher Copenhagen, Denmark |
"I am currently dedicated to teaching and implementing the use of the Internet in our university's first and second year classes. I develop new material as often as I can. I use most of the wonderful tools you have available. The quiz sessions are wonderful. My students keep asking for more! Quia gives me a wide range of options to have my students busy but interested."
University instructor Hattiesburg, Mississippi, U.S.A. |
"I teach in a school district that incorporates TVs and computers in the classroom. Quia has allowed me to create class web pages for each of my classes where we post information, display exceptional writing samples, etc. I have also used the Scavenger Hunt activity, in addition to others, for a Greek Mythology unit and a Japanese Culture unit. I have used Quia's quizzes both in-class as review of information and as study aides for students to use as review at home when studying. I absolutely love the services provided by Quia. Quia has allowed me to incorporate the Internet and visual resources into my classroom that I would not be able to do otherwise. Thank you Quia! As teaching standards, updated in the last two years in Missouri, now REQUIRE teachers to use computer resources in the classroom, there is great demand for resources. The Internet in itself is easy to use, but creating interactive activities with it is not easy. I have not been able to find any other site that assists me in this way besides QUIA."
Kelly O'Connor, high school teacher St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. |
"I am so thankful for this site. It has saved me REAMS of time."
First year teacher Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. |
"I use my Quia webpage to link to the other important web sites that I have discovered for my classroom. It is very easy and friendly to use. You do not need to be a computer expert to use it.... Thank you for this wonderful site. This is a very helpful site for classroom teachers."
Alicia Campos, teacher Garden Grove, California, U.S.A. |
"I'm very appreciative of your awesome resources! I'm already training others to use it! I have shared it with perhaps 50 teachers! It's fantastic stuff!"
Joyce Aston, 8th grade science teacher Fresno, California, U.S.A. |
"So easy to use - this is the easiest way to create and maintain a website! The games are great - so easy to make and my students love playing them. I get many great comments from the parents also. I love Quia - I do some technology training for our district - I use the last part of all of my workshops to tell people about this site - they are amazed at everything that can be created without much work."
Nicole Ferro, 5th grade language arts and social studies teacher Pearland, Texas, U.S.A. |
"I use Quia for review of vocabulary, grammar and culture. Students use it at home to review for quizzes. Both students at the high school level and college level said that it is very helpful. ... I think this is a wonderful tool, especially for German, where information and activities such as these are difficult to come by. I am actually training other teachers in my department on the use of Quia."
Serena Duncan, German teacher Vestavia Hills, Alabama, U.S.A. |
"Its flexibility makes it easy to customize the drills. It is teacher-driven. Quia runs well on old machines - I don't need the newest equipment in order to make use of it effectively. In a parochial school, on a tight budget, that is a distinct selling point!"
Sister J. LaLande Baricevic, technology coordinator Belleville, Illinois, U.S.A. |
"I love Quia. I post my daily homework assignments, tests and long term projects. I give hints to study for on tests and love the games for review. My students' parents love it because they can check up on the assignments! My students love the games, especially hangman. I love Quia- Thank you so much for this service!"

"It is so easy to use! Once you get the hang of it, you can really fly. This is so cool!!! It's a great tool to help teachers focus on their learning objectives or standards. Our state has a multi-mark reading assessment. That alone makes Quia fantastic for Kansas."
Julie Daniel, teacher resource trainer Topeka, Kansas, U.S.A. |
"You offer a fantastic and worthwhile service. I can tell you MANY of my students have logged on to the site and have used the tutorial links, played the games, etc. I started in August and currently have close to 400 hits on my Quia class page. Some have told me it helped them in test preparation. It's nice to know they have such a wonderful avenue for their success. Thank you very much."
High school chemistry teacher Cypress, Texas, U.S.A. |
"I use QUIA to make all of my flash cards. I can save them and keep all my information, so that when finals roll around I have it all!"
K-12 student Pasadena, California, U.S.A. |
"This is an outstanding site. I offer tremendous praise to the staff for continuing to add to and to improve this site. I love the new choices for creating quizzes. The new grading features are a nice addition as well. I have encouraged other teachers at my school to check out this site and to use it. Please keep on doing what you are doing and making any improvements that are possible. The staff is doing a wonderful job. Thank you."
Kristin Sherwood, high school teacher Bronx, New York, U.S.A. |
"Quia is so user friendly. I wish other software was as easy. ... I enjoy using Quia very much. Every time I sit down to work on a project Quia is the first resource I select."
June Tribble, public school teacher Cumming, Georgia, U.S.A. |
"I use Quia for review games for grammar and vocabulary that I would like my students to practice before a quiz/test, or just to keep their skills fresh. I like that the quizzes can tell students exactly where they had a problem, and it shows them what they need to review more. I like the many game formats, the quiz sessions (I like that I can see the students' results--they take it a little more seriously). I like that you can search for a game based on the topic, then more specifically within that topic by sub-topic or textbook (example: French:Grammar or French:Discovering French). ... I love your service! It is such a help to teachers, and such a motivator to some hard-to-reach learners who are motivated by the computer and the Internet. Thank you--it is a great idea."
Michele W. Crefeld, middle school Spanish and French teacher New Jersey, U.S.A. |
"The games are great. My students being mostly freshman and sophomores always want to be entertained. It is helpful for me that my students can e-mail me back their results. Also I can design games and quizzes on material that I think they need to focus on and only material that they have seen. So many times other software uses grammar and vocabulary that my students have not seen yet (especially my first year students)."
High school Spanish teacher Shreveport, Louisiana, U.S.A. |
"I use Quia extensively for vocabulary, computer history, copyright law and hardware practice and quizes. I have taught other teachers to use Quia as well. It is one of the most useful web sites for educators I have ever found. Thank you for a creative and valuable web site."
Donna Girard, computer literacy teacher Bow, New Hampshire, U.S.A. |
"I love the number of features, and the different styles of quizzes and activities. I appreciate the ability to create quiz sessions that allow me to track and analyze student data. Overall, the site is very easy to navigate with valuable features. Of all the online tools I've used, Quia has the most powerful features and usability. Quia's online learning activities and assessments are easy to develop, and more importantly, students are eager to log on and engage their minds. Thanks for providing this much needed resource for educators."
Josh Ricciardi, teacher and instructional design student Tacoma, Washington, U.S.A. |
"I'm a member of a few online communities, one of them being a large Harry Potter fan club with I think over 50 members, and we create ALL of our quizzes and games on Quia."
Seventh grade student Calgary, Alberta, Canada |
"In social studies this year, both 7th and 8th grades were to take the US Constitution test. I used Quia to help them evaluate when they would be ready to take the test. Out of 40 students, only one needed to re-take the test and that was with a requirement of 78% on the test! ... I love Quia and so do my friends that have tried it."
Kathleen Doherty, social studies and language arts teacher Wood Dale, Illinois, U.S.A. |
"I have a particular student who had a D/F average. With a quiz coming up, he went on the site and practiced what was there that pertained to the quiz. He got 108 on the quiz - 100 plus all 8 bonus points. He attributes it to the practice he did on Quia. I agree!"
High school Spanish teacher Connecticut, U.S.A. |
"I like the quizzes and especially the new features in them!!! Wow, couldn't be much better. Also the web pages we can make are great! I love it so much and am a strong supporter of learning activities and learning through doing and creating. Sometimes my assignments are for students to make a game or create a quiz on Quia. Keep up the good work!"
Hywanah Bradman, psychology and human relations teacher Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A. |
"I use Quia for homework and for fun. Usually for Spanish, and I play on the English for French people, just to get full marks. I LOVE IT ALL! The content is superb. QUIA IS COOL!"
High school student Darlington, United Kingdom |
"I teach Latin and Humanities in a private, independent school and have used the Quia web site for several years now. I have created class pages, activities and links to other sites for all my classes. The kids find the Quia activities very helpful. I love the activities. I use the simplest ones most often (flash cards, etc.) but am expanding. I am using the quiz sessions more now and find the stats you are able to provide extremely helpful. Your recent upgrade of quiz session options is wonderful."
K-12 teacher Columbia, South Carolina, U.S.A. |
"I am a native speaker of Spanish and enjoy teaching! Quia has a very user-friendly help system and it is easy to create games quickly. Even I, being a novice and a computer phobic, can do it. I am absolutely bubbly now that I can finally find something I can do on the computer without having to holler for the teenage son to come and rescue me. I have learned Quia on my own, and I am ecstatic at my new-found freedom! My students love playing the different games I have created for vocabulary review. It sure beats boring drill work."
Sonia Steckert, middle school Spanish teacher Auburndale, Florida, U.S.A. |
"For a languages teacher it's one of the best things available on the web. I think you are saints/angels!!!"
Eva Forbes, teacher Crieff Perthshire, United Kingdom |
"I've been using Quia to help my students learn vocabulary, both translations and spelling. The games are a great way for kids to have fun learning vocabulary and the quizzes give them an immediate feel for how well they are learning. This is a great site and I am so glad I was told about it! My kids love it and I am seeing a definite improvement in their retention of the material."
Lisa Welch, 5th through 7th grade foreign language teacher Wheeling, West Virginia, U.S.A. |
