In this episode of The Tech Ed Clubhouse Podcast, I sit down with Kyle Niemis, Head of Community at Wayground (formerly Quizziz). We dig into the bold decision to rebrand, the story behind the new name, and how Wayground is helping teachers balance student joy with academic rigor.
Kyle shares:
Why Quizziz rebranded as Wayground
How Wayground hits the sweet spot between fun gamification and serious assessment
The power of student accommodations and differentiation at scale
Their new PhET Simulations partnership for science classrooms
Where AI fits into real-time feedback and student growth
What’s next for Wayground as schools return this fall
We also dive into big-picture questions around time-saving tools vs. authentic learning, student choice, and how to help every kid succeed—not just the ones at the top of the leaderboard.
