Socrative

After staff development day today, I know many people use Socrative as a part of their presentation.  I just wanted to share with you how it can be used with your students.   

What is it?

Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers by engaging their classrooms with a series of educational exercises and games.  Teachers login through their device and select an activity which controls the flow of questions and games. Students simply login with their device and interact real time with the content.

What can I do with it?

Real Time Formative Assessment

Take a snapshot of student thinking through real time formative assessment. It's super easy to gather responses and get whole class participation. Just choose your question type, ask a question, and wait for responses.

• Multiple Choice Questions (Choices A-E)
• True or False
• Short Answer

Exit Tickets

Check in on your students' understanding as they head out the door. Gather responses on their comfort with the material as well as answers to questions you create in real time or prepare before class.

Quizzes (pre prepared)

You can create quizzes ahead of time and then assign them to your students to be completed as a class together or at their own pace.  You will be then e-mailed a report or download a report to your google docs after the quiz showing yours students performance.

Space Race

You can take your premade quizzes and turn them into a game!  Students will be grouped into teams randomly and they will race to complete the quiz together.  

What do I need to use Socrative?

• The teacher needs a computer or Smart Device with Socrative Teacher app loaded on it.  
• Our iPads currently do not have the teacher app.
