Socrative

 Socarative is an app that was introduced during our Appy Hour in January.  This app allows you to use mobile devices, as well as laptops and desktop computers, as clicker systems to gather data on your students through a formative assessment.

 This app can be downloaded to a device or for laptops/desktops, students can enter the address for Socrative.  There is a Student app and a Teacher app.  Teachers will need to create a "Room".  Prior to the quiz, teachers will need to give the students your room number for Socrative so that they can access your quizzes.

 These assessments can easily be created by you or you may choose from several pre-created quizzes.  The quizzes can be teacher-paces (meaning you control the timing of the questions) or student-paced.  You also have the options for using this app/online tool as an exit slip or a race between teams.  The Space Race is a great way to review previously taught material. 

Students use Socrative to complete open-ended questions in math.

 Instant results help you gauge student comprehension on multiple choice answers.  Using your Apple TV, teachers may display student answers in the form of a bar graph through the teacher reults option.  Teachers may email the results to themselves in an Excel spreadsheet upon completion of the activity.  This option is very beneficial so you can see student responses should you choose to use the open-ended option in question format.
