Blubbr is a neat quiz creation service that I recently learned about on Free Technology for Teachers. Using Blubbr you can create interactive quizzes that are based on YouTube clips. Your quizzes can be about anything of your choosing. The structure of the quizzes has a viewer watch a short clip then answer a multiple choice question about the clip. Viewers know right away if they chose the correct answer or not.  Great for reinforcing a topic on internet safety, social netiquette, social skills etc.

zondle is a site where you create quizes with any topic you would like for your students. The students then chose a gome from the game choices (which are many) and once the students answer the questions correctly, they play a portion of the game.

The games are quite fun and some are challenging enough to make you want to answer the questions over and over just to play the games. This site is free and has so much potential for use with a variety of learners.
