Socrative

Apple trainer, Kevin Shepperd, introduced us to Socrative during a workshop on Challenge Based Learning. Socrative is a FREE student response system that enables teachers to engage their classrooms through a series of educational exercises and games. The best part is that this is not just an app for iOS, Socrative can be accessed through smartphones, laptops, and tablets.

How it works:
Teachers login through their device and select an activity which controls the flow of questions and games. Students simply login with their device and interact real time with the content.

Student responses are visually represented for multiple choice, true/false and Short Answer questions. For pre-planned activities a teacher can view reports online as a Google spreadsheet or as an emailed Excel file.
