A closer look at Cazuz

The Cazuz lesson editor for a Water Cycle lesson: five AI suggestions beside the slides, each with Keep and Remove buttons.

The AI Autopilot panel for a 12-slide lesson: Light (about every 6 slides, 1 credit), Normal (every 3 to 4 slides, 2 credits) or Max (after most topics, 3 credits).

AI reads your slides. You keep what's good.

Upload a PDF or PowerPoint and AI Autopilot reads every slide, pictures included, then suggests a warm-up poll, checks and an exit ticket. Keep or remove each one. Free includes 3 AI credits a month.

Pause today, pick it up another day

Choose Save & continue later and everyone keeps their score. Next time, Cazuz asks if you want to pick up where you left off, and the lesson carries on in the same report for up to 21 days.

Every plan

Tug of War: a red team and a blue team of children pulling a rope, as it plays on the classroom board.

Tug of War: Red vs Blue on the board

Two teams pull the rope while students answer on their own devices. Maths is generated for KG1 to Grade 5, or use your own questions on Pro.

Team game

A student's phone in a Cazuz activity, sorting foods into fruit, vegetable and protein groups.

Homework that marks itself

Set a deadline, 1 to 20 attempts and a timer, then share a link or QR code for each class. Seven question kinds: multiple choice and true or false on Free, five more on Pro.

Link and QR per class

Questions teachers ask

Which is best for lessons?: It depends on where your slides live. Pear Deck runs inside Google Slides or PowerPoint Online, and Nearpod takes PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides, with 22,000+ ready-made resources and questions inside videos. Cazuz puts your PDF or PowerPoint on every student's screen, AI suggests questions from your slides, and a lesson can be paused and picked up another day in one report. PowerPoint becomes still slides in Cazuz, so animations do not play.
Which is best for live quiz games?: Kahoot!, Blooket and Wayground are built around live games. Blooket lists 25+ modes and Kahoot! about 12, and Kahoot! and Wayground allow bigger rooms (up to 800 and 1,000 players on their top plans). Cazuz has Live Quiz with speed points, double or triple points and a podium, Tug of War as a Red vs Blue team game on the board, and Carnival, with up to 300 players on Complete.
Do students need accounts?: Not on Cazuz, Kahoot!, Nearpod, Wordwall or Blooket. Pear Deck makes accounts optional. Wayground students can join by code, but need accounts for classes and attempt limits. On Cazuz, students go to cazuz.net/play, type the code and a nickname. No email, no login.
Can I use my own slides?: Yes on Cazuz (PDF or PowerPoint, every plan), Nearpod (PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides), Wayground (Google Slides or PDF) and Pear Deck (inside Google Slides or PowerPoint Online). Kahoot! imports slides from Silver ($84/yr); its questions and answers can show on student devices, but slides on student screens are not documented. Wordwall and Blooket do not run slide lessons.
Is there a free plan with AI?: Yes, several. Pear Deck's free plan includes Pear Start with unlimited use, Wayground Basic includes 10 AI credits a month, Nearpod's free plan has 5 generations, and Cazuz Free has 3 AI credits a month, including AI that reads your own slides. The free plans of Kahoot!, Wordwall and Blooket do not include AI.
Is Cazuz affiliated with these companies?: No. Cazuz is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Kahoot! AS, Quizizz Inc. (Wayground), Renaissance Learning (Nearpod), Visual Education (Wordwall), GoGuardian (Pear Deck) or Blooket LLC.
