  2. What Is Socrative? • Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers to engage their classrooms through a series of educational exercises and games via smartphones, laptops, and tablets. • Socrative Introduction Video

  3. How Does Socrative Fit In Our Professional Learning Plan? • Data Analysis is one of the 2 major areas we are focusing on in our professional learning plan. • Socrative can be used to collect aggregated data and exported it to an easy to read report in an Excel file or viewable online as a Google spreadsheet. • This can be used to guide instruction.

  4. What Can SocrativeBe Used For? • Real Time Formative Assessment • You can create a real time formative assessment to take a snapshot of student thinking. It is very easy- you just choose your question type (multiple choice, true/false, and/or short answer), ask a question, and wait for responses. • Quizzes • You can design your own evaluation exercises in minutes by importing questions or inputting them on their website. Questions can be multiple choice, short answer, or a combination.  If you elect to use multiple choice, they will be graded for you. • Exit tickets • Use technology to check in on your students' understanding as they head out the door. Gather responses on their comfort with the material as well as answers to questions you created. • Games • Engage your students in fun exercises that track their performance while they're playing a fast-paced rocket race game. The team(s) answer questions which moves their rocket. The team that get their rocket the furthest across the screen wins! * Reminder, If students are using their cell phones, PDA’s or tablets, they MUST fill out a BYOT Contract
