My experience using Socrative was very positive. I thought the software was
very user-friendly and well-designed. I was able to create a 10-page quiz in
about 15 minutes. I loved having the option to create a question that was
either true or false, multiple choice, or short answer. I used a mixture of all
three question styles on my quiz to provide variety. I also added pictures into
my quiz. I thought that was a great feature. I could definitely see myself
using this program in my classroom. Elementary schools usually only have 4
computers in each class so I could create a quiz as one of my
"centers" during daily activities and have students rotate onto the
computers to take the quiz. I think it puts a fun twist on quiz taking. I loved
getting to watch the members in my group take my quiz, and see the immediate feedback.
I then had the ability to export it into an Excel file, so I could save it to my
computer with the information displayed nicely in a graph; it was very innovative.
Aside from the standard quiz feature, there are three other programs
available on this site; quick question, space race, and exit ticket. I picture
these programs for an older classroom, probably college-aged, where
students each have their own computer or phone to access the question from
their desks. I am glad I got to become familiar with a tool that will be very
useful throughout my teaching career.
