I- Socrative
Socrative was built in the USA by Ben Berté and Michael West. Socrative is an easy-
to-use tool for building assessments and seeing results in real-time. Socrative lets
teachers engage and assess their students (till 50 users in free mode) with educational
activities on tablets, laptops and smart phones. Through the use of real time questioning,
instant result aggregation and visualization on video projector. Teachers can gauge the
whole class current level of understanding.
Socrative saves teachers time so the class can further collaborate, discuss, extend
and grow as a community of learners. It’s everything you need to improve instruction and
help student learning. The apps are super simple and take seconds to login.
Socrative turns your students’ smart phones into a powerful student response system
which attach every student names to electronic quizzes.
Educators can initiate formative assessments through quizzes, quick question polls,
exit tickets and space races all with their Socrative app. Socrative will instantly grade
and provide graphs of results to help you identify opportunities for further instruction.
It will save your time and visualize student understanding when it matters.

IV- Considerations
Not all students have smart phones, laptops, notebooks, or other portable web-enabled
technology. On the quizzes and the exit ticket, once a student is done responding,
they’re given the option to finish or let another student take the quiz. For activities that
could potentially have points attached, there’s at least this option. If many of your
students don’t have internet access in your classroom, consider pairing students so that
the two of them provide one response.
