According to Nikki Ralston (2016) “Wizer worksheets are perfect for take home exams. Students can complete and submit the exams from their home computer. The teacher can limit and monitor the amount of time students have to work on the exam by manually opening and closing access to the worksheet from the teacher account.
Furthermore, when the teacher review submitted responses, the amount of time each student spent on the worksheet appears at the top of the page. This is important feedback for the teacher.” 


Other advantages of Wizer.me to take into account: 
  • It’s time saving thanks to the automatic checking and grading.
  • It’s money saving, because teachers won’t have to make photocopies for their students.
  • It allows the teacher to create a worksheet with a wide variety of activities. 


    HOW TO USE WIZER.ME

Here is a tutorial that will show you how to use this app.


STEP 1: Enter the following site: http://app.wizer.me/
















STEP 2: Click on JOIN FOR FREE and then choose to create an account as a teacher.


















STEP 3: You can sign up by using your email and creating a password, or via Edmodo, Google + or Microsoft.



STEP 4: Once you have signed up, you have the option of providing some personal information, but you can just skip this part if you want to.
















STEP 5: Now you can start creating your worksheets! Click on CREATE WORKSHEET. ("Wizer Lite" means that you can create worksheets for free. If you click on "Upgrade account" or "Pricing and Plans" you will be able to choose another worksheet pack that is not for free.)






























STEP 6: Ready to start? As you can see in the image, the first thing to do is to select a DESIGN you like, and to create the title of your worksheet.

















STEP 7: I've chosen "Back to School" design, and I've already written the title of my worksheet. Have a look at the left part! You can select different cover images, and the color and the font you like.























STEP 8: If you see what is below the title, you will find the option of ADDING THE TASK you want your students to do. Have a look at the VARIETY of tasks you can include in your worksheet!

















STEP 9: Imagine you want to create a "FILL ON AN IMAGE" TASK. Click on that task and then you choose if you want to upload an image or select a page from a PDF.



















STEP 10: Once you have uploaded the image, click on EDIT, so you can write a title and the instruction for the activity.



STEP 11: Here you will write your title and instruction. You can RECORD your instruction if you want!

















STEP 12: Then you have to click on the objects, so that your students know where to click and write the words.
































STEP 13: When you finish click on DONE.












STEP 14: Now what if you want to add a video? Just click on the "VIDEO" task. You can upload a video or write a Youtube link. Then you can add a Title and the Instruction, which again can be recorded. Don't forget to click on DONE when you finish.




















STEP 15: If you want to have a look at your worksheet and/or if you want to print it, just click on REVIEW. If your worksheet is ready to be assign to your students, click on ASSIGN TO LEARNER.

















STEP 16: As you can see, only premium accounts can assign private worksheets. We are part of the WIZER LITE pack (the one that is FREE), so we have to click on "MAKE MY WORKSHEET PUBLIC".







STEP 17: Now that your worksheet will be public, you can name your assignment and send it to your students via GOOGLE CLASSROOM, EDMODO, PIN, or by sharing the link. Remember to choose the YES option when it comes to Automatic feedback to students.






In the ANSWERS section you will get your students answers.


You can even SHARE your worksheet to other teachers!


STEP 18: Finally! Click on DASHBOARD, and then SIGN OUT.




Wizer.me is definetely a great app to create interactive and engaging worksheets. It gives you the opportunity to create a wide variety of tasks, as well as to share your work through different means. Give it a shot!
