1. Socrative:
Socrative is a smart, student response system that empowers teachers to collect data from
their students via smartphones, laptops, and tablets. The teachers find Socrative to be the
most useful SMS app because students can use it on any platform with internet service, rather
than phones with text messaging services. It is a great way for teachers to assess students and
collect immediate feedback.
Teachers and students can use Socrative on any device with a web browser (tablets,
smartphones, laptops, iPod Touches, etc.).
Teachers login at t.socrative.com by entering their email and password.
Students login at m.socrative.com by entering the "virtual room number" provided by the
teacher. Students will then see "Waiting for teacher to start an activity...”.
Teachers initiate an activity by selecting it on their main screen (e.g. Multiple Choice, T/F,
and Quick Quiz).
Students respond on their devices.
Students' results are visible on the Teacher's screen or sent in an email.(the teacher choose
this option).
Step One: Tell Students to Join Your Session
Once you've logged into t.socrative.com
Tell your class to go to m.socrative.com
Next, tell them to join Room Number XXXX to participate in your session.
This is your "Virtual Room". You don't need to memorize it. It'll always be on your home
screen.
Step Two: Initiate an Activity
When the students respond to the questions, you'll see the results on your screen.
Now we will see together step by step how it works.
Socrative home page:
2. If you don't have an account created, you'll need to Sign Up for a free account. Once your
account is created, use your email and password to login.
After logging in I’ll have a number for my room that I should make a note of my Room
Number. This is how i will test and this is how my students will enter any of my activities.
They will not need a separate account or login credentials.
This is my
room number
3. This is the best tip of socrative that I ask my questions orally and my students answer via
socrative.
When I have my room number I give it to my students so that they can log in. when they
want to log in they get this page and they have to write the number of the room I gave it.
So as you see in this type of programs I ask questions orally and my students answer directly
on their devices after logging in.
There are severaltypes of questions, we will explainoneafter another.
1-Single Question Activities - "Right Now" Polling
The first set of polling activities is called "Single Questions" This includes Multiple Choice,
True/False, and Short Answer questions.
The main purpose for these activities is to do a quick poll or collection of data on the spot and
without any preparation.
Multiple Choice (A-E) - one question at a
time - orally, live data as it gets collected
True/False (T/F) - one question at a time -
orally, live data as it gets collected
Short Answer - students can type in
answers, responses can be voted on
4. When I choose a type these photos appear on my student’s screen.
Once questions are complete, the teacher can click on End Activity or go back to the Main
Screen.
Students can see feedback
immediately. (Wrong answer)
Correct answer, click next question.
When the student finish the quiz he
should click finish quick quiz.
5. While answering the answers appear immediately on teacher’s screen.
2-Quiz-Based Activities
For Quizzes, the teacher has the ability to pre-design his questions and then deploy them as a
Student Paced or Teacher Paced Quiz.
Student Paced Quiz: Students enter name, answer questions (one at a time, at their own
pace), teacher can get live results.
6. Teacher Paced Quiz: Students enter name, answer questions (teacher advances each
question for the class), teacher can get live results for display.
And when the activity is ended a box appears on teacher’s screen about the report.
Exit Ticket: is a type of quizzes that teacher can define what his students understood today in
class.
The teacher choose what to do, I
downloaded the report look what I
have got:
7. Space race: teacher divided his class into groups. And he run quiz as a game.
3-Creating Quizzes
You can create quizzes and Edit existing quizzes through Socrative.
After creating a quiz or opening a pre-existing quiz, you can choose a type of question to add.
Multiple Choice - Write the question and 2-5 answer choices; mark the checkbox for the
correct answer (or leave without a correct answer). You can include feedback that will be
displayed after a student answers the question.
Short Answer - Write an open ended question and this will allow for students to write their
own responses. You can also include feedback that will be displayed after a student answers
the question.
8. Also he can import quizzes from his own pc or quizzes created by other teachers, provided
that he has the SOC number (it’s like the serial number for every quiz created on socrative)
and the quiz is shared if not he can’t import it.
First I tried creating a
quiz
While creating the quiz, for every
question the teacher should choose
if it’s multiple choice or short
answer, than he can put the right
answer or no. as he wish. When he
finish creating questions he click
save.
9. 4-Edit quizzes.
Duplicate quiz
And we can find report about previous quizzes:
Here I find all quizzes I used
(shared or created by me)
Here I can edit all quizzes by
adding or removing questions
or editing questions.

quiz
Delete the selected quiz.
