I've done Professional Development across the district singing the praises of SOCRATIVE. A few of the reasons I like it so much is that it makes student engagement soar, and it's easy to use. If you aren't familiar with SOCRATIVE, it's a student response system, that mimics "clickers", but that is web based. It can be used on smartphones, PCs, MACS and iPads. Teachers can design their own quizzes and activities in minutes. Another great thing about SOCRATIVE is the customer service they offer. Any time I have contacted them, I get a prompt, helpful response. In addition, they listen to their customer feedback and make changes accordingly. Recently, they updated their website with two new options - the ability to embed pictures in quizzes and gradable short answers.
Those sneaky folks at the SOCRATIVE team have made us sing for our supper, so to speak. Those awesome new features are out there, BUT....you have to give them some feedback in order to turn it on!!! (This is why their customer service ROCKS.)
Enter your info and log in to your account and you will be good to go. Yes, it's FREE. All it will cost you is five minutes of your time. Below is a video that shows you how to use these new features. Enjoy!
