One of the most interesting and helpful Web 2.0 tools that I’ve found this week is ProProfs Quiz School. This site allows you the opportunity to create free quizzes, online tests, training, recruitment, and exams for your classroom, company, or friends. One of the aspects that make this site so awesome is that it offers many features like statistics, analytics, geographic user identification, flexible result types, style customizations and seamless integration with other websites. It also supports a wide variety of quiz question styles, from multiple choice to true-or-false, etc. Another great feature of this site is that it allows you to tag your quizzes and share them on the web, while also giving you access to quizzes created by others.
This website can be used by educators, companies, families, and friends. Quizzes can be made for any purpose and for any occasion. You can even customize your quizzes by adding your images, logos, and changing the colors and styles. You can embed the quizzes into your website, blogs, facebook pages, etc. There are no ads in quizzes placed on your sites and all of the ads that you find on their website are family-safe. Another highlight of this site is that it is 100% safe for use in the educational environment.
I found this site last week when I was searching the Internet for a quiz making site to create an online quiz for my classroom. My motivation for creating the quiz online was that I was already bombarded by a million papers that needed to be graded and needed a quick and easy way for students to take a multiple-choice science test. I was absolutely amazes and impressed by this site! Not only does it cut my grading time down, it also allows me to view quiz results instantly and provides students with a certificate of completion upon completing the quiz. I will definitely use this site often! Another benefit of this site is that it allows you to search through and use other quizzes created by educators. Whereas, I had to type in all of the questions for the quiz that I am giving this week, I can search the site in the future to find quizzes on material in my curriculum.
I embedded the quiz into my classroom blog and will have the students take the quiz in the computer lab.

Several have mentioned the "green-ness" of these sites as well! I would love to hear how these work in the long run for the teachers who are using them.
