Hey, hey, hey! Happy Monday, friends. 🙂
Today I had a surprise visit/observation from the Superintendent {eeekkk!}, and he
sent me an AWESOME email later in the day. He had the chance to watch me use my
class set of iPads to do flashbacks using Socrative.
A free program and app, Socrative
allows you to create a ‘classroom’ where assessments will show up and live
score for you!

As long as students have your classroom code, they can access your room
from any mobile device anywhere in the world.

You can create multiple choice
and short answer questions, or you can use Socrative’s
pre-made quizzes for quick and unplanned formative assessments. When I add an
assessment, I make and save it on Microsoft Word and then, copy/paste it into
Socrative.

Also, as students take the assessment you get on-the-spot feedback about
their progress on the assessment and what they have scored. If you want, the
app will also tell students if they correctly answered a question.

Then, when
all students are finished, you get an email with the results. Correct answers
are highlighted in green, incorrect answers in red – this makes it SUPER easy
to follow-up on common misconceptions and provides a record of scores.

I use Socrative everyday for flashbacks
and then, pull it up on 5 or so iPads during Reading Workshop time for students
to do a quick ‘Show What I Know’ before they leave.

With 90 kiddos, I cannot explain how many trees and hours this FREE
resource saves. If you have mobile devices in your classroom, I would definitely
encourage you to check Socrative out! Happy day, friends. 🙂
