What is Socrative ?

A smart student response system that allows students to use any internet capable device to engage in classroom activities such as quizzes, games, and quick responses for exit slips or discussion starters. Each teacher creates his or her own classroom space when signing up for an account which allows students private access through teacher verified entrance into the classroom.

Here is an Example of a Socrative we created.

To use Socrative, the teacher needs to be logged in for students to view the quiz. So, to see a teacher view of Socrative, we have included this screen shot. The first screen shot is the teacher main page.

This is the screen shot of the teacher page to create the quiz.

This screen shot is the view a student has when entering the program.

Finally, this is what a student sees while taking a quiz. This quiz happens to be a short answer quiz.
