Socrative

Socrative is FREE student response system.  It can be used for a variety of purposes such as exit tickets, classroom discussions, quizzes or formal assessments. In order to use Socrative, each student will need his or her own device; the teacher will also need his/her own device as well. 

One of the thinks that make Socrative so versatile is that both students and teachers can access and use it from any device that has an internet connection such as a smartphone, tablet or computer.

To utilize Socrative, the teacher will create an account using an email address. The teacher will be required to complete a quick initial set-up.  The teacher may use this account whether he/she has one class or many classes.  The teacher can pre-create quiz-based assessments or go with single question (spontaneous/verbal questions).  Students will access Socrative using the student app or web address.  They will then enter the “room number” (class access code created during initial teacher account creation).  After entering the classroom number, students will enter their name (first name is fine); therefore students do not create their own account.   

Teachers have the option to share the results or hide the results with students as they complete the activity.  Teachers can also download the data to an excel spreadsheet for further use.

Students enjoy using Socrative as it is more fun than a paper assessment and provides instant results for informal discussions.  Teachers love it because of it’s instantaneous feedback and data results.
