Socrative:Socrative is a smart, student response system that empowers teachers to collect data from their students via smartphones, laptops, and tablets. The teachers find Socrative to be the most useful SMS app because students can use it on any platform with internet service, rather than phones with text messaging services. It is a great way for teachers to assess students and collect immediate feedback.Teachers and students can use Socrative on any device with a web browser (tablets, smartphones, laptops, iPod Touches, etc.).Teachers login at t.socrative.com by entering their email and password.Students login at m.socrative.com by entering the "virtual room number" provided by the teacher. Students will then see "Waiting for teacher to start an activity...”.Teachers initiate an activity by selecting it on their main screen (e.g. Multiple Choice, T/F, and Quick Quiz).Students respond on their devices.Students' results are visible on the Teacher's screen or sent in an email.(the teacher choose this option).Step One: Tell Students to Join Your SessionOnce you've logged into t.socrative.comTell your class to go to m.socrative.comNext, tell them to join Room Number XXXX to participate in your session.This is your "Virtual Room". You don't need to memorize it. It'll always be on your home screen.Step Two: Initiate an ActivityWhen the students respond to the questions, you'll see the results on your screen.Now we will see together step by step how it works.Socrative home page:

If you don't have an account created, you'll need to Sign Up for a free account. Once your account is created, use your email and password to login.

After logging in I’ll have a number for my room that I should make a note of my Room Number. This is how i will test and this is how my students will enter any of my activities. They will not need a separate account or login credentials.

This is my room number

This is the best tip of socrative that I ask my questions orally and my students answer via socrative.

When I have my room number I give it to my students so that they can log in. when they want to log in they get this page and they have to write the number of the room I gave it.

So as you see in this type of programs I ask questions orally and my students answer directly on their devices after logging in.

There are several types of questions, we will explain one after another.

1-Single Question Activities - "Right Now" Polling

The first set of polling activities is called "Single Questions" This includes Multiple Choice, True/False, and Short Answer questions.

The main purpose for these activities is to do a quick poll or collection of data on the spot and without any preparation.

Multiple Choice (A-E) - one question at a time - orally, live data as it gets collected

True/False (T/F) - one question at a time - orally, live data as it gets collected

Short Answer - students can type in answers, responses can be voted on

When I choose a type these photos appear on my student’s screen.

Once questions are complete, the teacher can click on End Activity or go back to the Main Screen.

Students can see feedback immediately. (Wrong answer)

Correct answer, click next question.When the student finish the quiz he should click finish quick quiz.

While answering the answers appear immediately on teacher’s screen.

2-Quiz-Based Activities

For Quizzes, the teacher has the ability to pre-design his questions and then deploy them as a Student Paced or Teacher Paced Quiz.

Student Paced Quiz: Students enter name, answer questions (one at a time, at their own pace), teacher can get live results.

Teacher Paced Quiz: Students enter name, answer questions (teacher advances each question for the class), teacher can get live results for display.

And when the activity is ended a box appears on teacher’s screen about the report.

Exit Ticket: is a type of quizzes that teacher can define what his students understood today in class.

The teacher choose what to do, I downloaded the report look what I have got:

Space race: teacher divided his class into groups. And he run quiz as a game.

3-Creating Quizzes

You can create quizzes and Edit existing quizzes through Socrative.

After creating a quiz or opening a pre-existing quiz, you can choose a type of question to add.

Multiple Choice - Write the question and 2-5 answer choices; mark the checkbox for the correct answer (or leave without a correct answer). You can include feedback that will be displayed after a student answers the question.

Short Answer - Write an open ended question and this will allow for students to write their own responses. You can also include feedback that will be displayed after a student answers the question.

Also he can import quizzes from his own pc or quizzes created by other teachers, provided that he has the SOC number (it’s like the serial number for every quiz created on socrative) and the quiz is shared if not he can’t import it.

First I tried creating a quiz

While creating the quiz, for every question the teacher should choose if it’s multiple choice or short answer, than he can put the right answer or no. as he wish. When he finish creating questions he click save.
