Socrative

Socrative is a great student response website and app. Teachers can make their own classroom code. Next, simply create your test. Then give the students the classroom code. Lastly, students go to Socrative and type in the classroom code. Once the teacher starts the quiz students can respond to the questions. Socrative then will show the results for each questions in a bar graph. I like to use a Smartboard to project the results so we can see what questions we need to review. Pin It
