Socrative

Socrative – allows the teacher to create a series of questions for students to access on their own computers or devices. As each student answers a question, the results are instantly fed back to the teacher, which is pretty smart. The teacher is able to monitor and assess the students’ knowledge, and the students are able to engage with topical information but in an interactive and fun way.

Would I use this App – possible yes. I will be teaching Adobe Illustrator in September, and feel this could be a useful way of assessing the student’s prior knowledge of the subject.

Disadvantages – Gathering all the information necessary for setting the questions could be time consuming
