Simple, straightforward, and when not overused, motivating.

How I Use It

I have used this with HS students and teachers as a formative assessment. We all know that sometimes, you need to just ...lecture. It's unavoidable. I've used Socrative to ask novel questions, give students a task to complete when they're done with "Think Pair Share," and to do a one-question pop quiz. Kids have answered on iPads or computers; teachers have answered on their own phones. Easy peazy and they like seeing the answers the whole group had.
