What is Socrative? Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers by engaging their classrooms with a series of educational exercises and games.

Why do we like it (features)? - quizzes (make up your own or import quizes other teachers have made) - "space race" - emails you feed back about results on quizes or assignments instantly - exit slips - short answer - true/false questions - give students immediate feedback (optional) - scramble answers - show class the scores (optional) - own personal classroom number - can use it on a laptop, smartphone/iphone, or tablets

How can Socrative help us to reach our learning objective? - test students knowledge of Canadians in World War II - give students extra practice and further develop their learning (through the games, multiple choice, true/false, etc)

Equipment needed can include either: - laptop - smartphone - tablets - iPads

Downsides of Socrative - hard to use at first - cannot post questions on website for true/false, poll, or the short answer questions (or at least I couldn't figure it out) - teacher must be logged onto the website and have chosen an activity in order for students to do activities

Socrative can be used for any class really. Mostly for testing knowledge, but you can use it for any subject because you get to choose the questions and answers (optional) so it could include definitions for English, multiplying/dividing, addition/subtraction for Math, etc.
