Socrative is a live polling tool instructors can use to capture live student data to assess students’ understanding of concepts. There are several ways to assess student knowledge within the application, including pre-set quizzes, on-demand questions, and exit ticket questions. Space Race is an additional feature that provides an opportunity for collaborative learning in a competitive game style quiz. Students can use any device including smart phones and tablets to participate. There is also a user friendly app that teachers or participants may use to join a session.
Here’s a quick video of Space Race in action.
