Community Review for Socrative
My Take
This can be a powerful teaching tool. I have found that the 'voting' option helps students judge both their own and others' responses. I like that I can download the responses & look at them later while I'm planning reteaching.
How I Use It
I use Socrative regularly in my classroom. Most often, I use the quiz option, though there are also quick question, 'space race' (game), and exit ticket options. I might throw up a question that has many possible answers; then, when students have entered their responses, open the answers so students can see what others have written (generally I set names to 'anonymous' for this quiz). Once the answers are revealed, students can vote on the best responses. Consider implications for text evidence, writing, interpretation of evidence, etc.
