Reviews / Recommendations

In the classroom, Socrative can be used for quick formative assessments to gauge student understanding during lessons. Teachers can create exit tickets to gather feedback on what students have learned and identify areas needing review. Socrative's Space Race game mode can be utilised to make review sessions engaging and competitive. Additionally, it can support differentiated instruction by tailoring questions to different student levels and providing immediate feedback to guide learning. Socrative's real-time data helps teachers adjust their teaching strategies accordingly.

Example of the tool as a good practice

Can be used for formative or summative assessment and allow the teacher to assess understanding with multiple choice, true/false, and short answer. There is even an “exit ticket” for educators to assess understanding as students head out the door. Space Race is another feature that allows teachers to track student performance as they answer questions and compete by trying to get their team’s rocket the farthest across the screen by answering questions correctly.

Inclusion

The use of digital tools, by each student, at his/her own pace, allows for greater inclusiveness. The tool may be used by deaf students.
