Socrative is an app intended to enhance the quality of
communication between a teacher and their students. In the free version of this
app, it provides the opportunity for teachers to create quizzes, polls, on the
fly questioning, assessments, real-time results, and to make accessing this all
the more simple it is accessible from any device. Using this app in the
classroom helps students feel safer and more comfortable asking questions since
they are not forced to raise their hand, but instead can ask it through the app
for the teacher to answer. Another benefit to this app is how easily a teacher
can create their own unique quizzes for the students to begin the class in order
to turn their focus to the topic of the day. For example, the questions could
ask students to pick a theme that stands out to them throughout a novel they
are reading to assess what they are noticing through their reading and what
they need help understanding. These valuable resources can be available to
fifty students per session in one public room which gives Socrative the ability
to reach a large community and assist them in creating stronger communication between
students and teachers. If this is not enough, there are upgrades available to
K-12 and higher education which allow up to 10 public or private rooms as well
as shareable links, countdown timers, and restricted access with student ID.
The cost for these upgrades are very reasonable at $60 and $100 considering the
unlimited possibilities provided by this app in aiding students and faculty
alike through their educational journey.
