Socrative

 

        Socrative is an app that must be downloaded and used on a smart device such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Socrative is free to use however they offer different plans if teachers want the ability to give more activities at once and allow them more rooms for students as well, meaning different classes per teacher. Socrative has many different options for teachers to give to students such as exercises, games, and quizzes Socrative is a great learning tool for students and really helps save teachers time, especially when it comes to grading assignments. As soon as students submit their answers, they are given instant feedback.

    The technology being used will enhance the learning experience for the students by giving them a chance to engage with the teacher and other students. Engagement is really important for student learning because it gives them confidence with their answers and makes them want to learn more with technology as well as the subject being taught. By using the technology for the activities, students will gain confidence and experience with using the technology to enhance their learning. 

        Above is a picture of the practice class I setup. The picture shows all the activities the teacher can assign to the class. The quiz allows them to create questions for every student to answer and the questions can either be multiple choice, true/false, and even short answers. Space Race is a fun activity that allows the class to be divided up into teams to compete against each other. The last optional activity is the Exit Ticket. Exit ticket is a five-minute activity that takes place near the end of class.
