Socrative is a website and free app that offers a variety of educational activities for both teachers and students. Teachers can post poll questions or exit tickets for students to complete with the use of a mobile device.
Teachers can also create and manage quizzes through this interactive app. The quizzes can be downloaded and printed, or students can login and take the quiz online. Instant grading and feedback is given to students, while teachers can download the quiz report of the entire class, individual students, or specific questions. This feature allows teachers to determine which students had a difficult time answering specific questions, and which concepts may require further instruction and explanation. |
Similar to Kahoot, students also have the opportunity to play games where they race against their classmates to answer correct questions. The gaming feature can be used to introduce a topic, check for understanding of a concept, review a chapter or unit, or even take a quiz.
