welcome to this quick tutorial I wanted to share a quick program
that I have been using in my own classroom called Socrative
it is Socrative.com this is a web based programs so there's no software to download, everything happens in the cloud
it's a good program that I use, it's a student response system (wireless response system that allows teachers to ask for information and for learners to respond by using a “clicker”)
teachers can use Socrative to create quizzes, create questions and games using Socrative
so I am going to login and show you my account
this is a login screen (after you have created your account) and the design of this is very simple
keeps things simple, clean and easy to use and learners also find it easy to use
so now we will login
once you login, you will see the basic design of Socrative, just like this
after you have created an account and login you are given a room number
just like this one on the right, this is a number that teachers will use when they creating
online quizzes or questions for learners that teachers can use in class
again, this is the basic design of Socratic
very simple design which i think is great because it doesn't make things difficult for teachers or the learners
teachers can log in and design quizzes very quickly and easy, they can also create
live season for learners with a question and answer season in class
these quizzes can be teacher based/ learner based
or teacher paste/student paste and ill show you this in a second
the main thing that I use Socrative for is to create online quizzes and for its test tool
so as you looking at the design its nice, its clean and simple
teachers can login quickly and easily and create their quizzes and
question and answer seasons for their class and I use it as a really great tool
for my own classroom, so now I am going to show you how to make a quiz
real quick, so you go to "Manga quizzes" right here
you will see your room number, the room number does not change it says the same
the room number will be the number that learners
always use to log into the quiz that the teacher has created
so you can see in my account that I have already created a lot of quizzes
so any time I can make the learners retake the quiz, if the learner was absent from class
they can always come back and take the quiz later so that what's great about Socrative
you don't just create a quiz then its gone the quiz will always be there
so I will show you a quiz that I have created, so we click on "Edit Quiz"
then the teacher will create the questions then decide which type of question you'd like to ask
I have asked multiple choice questions in this quiz
I will scroll down to the bottom and show you how to make a new question
so you choose if you want to create a multiple choice or short answer question, ill create a multiple choice
so you type in your question here
then you create your multiple choice answers, and you write possible answers
out of your possible answers you then select the right answer, then you can create another questions
I will show you how a short question looks like. again, you type in your question
then you can type in the right answer here, then once you done you click save her at the bottom
and then that quiz will be saved
then you can go back at any time and you can edited your quiz or delete them
again, this is the quiz that I just created,
you do the same thing even when you starting a new quiz from the start, you click " Create a quiz"
then you will see the same design (its just that this one does not have created quizzes like the last time)
another thing that Socrative can do is it allows you to share the work so once someone has
created the quiz, each quizzes is given a SOC number
lets go back, so if you have the right SOC teachers can import their quizzes or
use quizzes that other teachers have created so if there's teachers in your school or
or any one that has created a quiz using Socrative
if you have they SOC number then you can import the Quiz into your own account
and you can the quiz the same way or you can change it
so that is how a quiz is created now I am going to show you how a quiz looks like
when the learners sees it in their account
so now we go to the main screen, to start a quiz you start at the main screen
click on " Stat Quiz"
once learner has select the quiz, select "power point quiz"
once learners have selected the quiz, there are two options to choose from
First option is the a student paced quiz which means learners can move forward for the
rest of the quiz as they answer the questions so as they finish question 1 they can move to
question 2 then 3 then 4, a teacher paced quiz means learners can only answer questions
that the teacher allow them to answer so its not really a quiz
but its like an assignment used a learning tool in classroom for a lesson
this helps the teacher to make sure that all the learners are on the same page at the same time
I will show you a the student paced and a teacher paced quiz later
so before a teacher can give a quiz there are three "Advanced Quiz Options"
down here in this box, there is the 'Randomise Choice" option (not putting the questions in order)
"Disabled Immediate Right Wrong Feedback" (not letting learners know if they are right or wrong after answering a question) and "Hide Question Explanations"
I always choose all three of these options when I give a quiz to my leaners because
these options help to keep the quiz quick and easy for learners to move forward
remember as the learners are taking the quiz, they always move forward to the next questions
so once learners have answered a question they can not go back and change it.
so the learners answers a question and then they moves on to the next question
and that's why I choose all three of these options because it keeps the students focused and
the quiz is not disturbed so now I'm going to show
what it looks like from the learners view but as a teacher when you are
ready to start the quiz you will select "Student paced quiz"
and then you will see this screen then you can click "Live Results"
"live results" will show you all the learners that log in, you will see they name
you can see how many questions they have answered, what question are they on and
how many questions they got right so "live results" gives you straight away feedback on the learners and
feedback on they progress, it's a great tool for teachers to keep an eye on the learners as they answer the quiz
so once the teacher has started the quiz this is the screen that the leaners will see
learners would have to go to m.socrative.com
then learners will see this page and all they have to on this page is enter the room number
and remember, the room number will always stay the same after that
learners will click "Join room" and the quiz start
I always ask the learners their first and last name as the first question, I do this
so when the learners are done with the quiz I can but the quiz in alphabetical order, once they have entered they name, they click "submit"
this is how the quiz will look like and the learners can now start
the learner will choose the right answer and will move on to the next question
I'm not taking the time to choose the right answers
I just went to show you how the quiz will looks like, how the questions
will looks like and how the quiz will look like when the learners see it
as the learners are answering the question, I will show you what the teacher is seeing, lets go back to the teacher screen
teachers will see each learner that logs in, you will see they first and last name, you can also see the progress of the leaners
as you can see I have answered 4 questions out of 25 and how many questions I have right, which is 1 out of 24
this is a great tool if teachers want to see how each learner is doing in the quiz
how many questions learners are getting right and this teachers can see live and not after learners have done taking the quiz
this can help teachers see learners that are doing well or learners that are struggle, this is can be live assessment tool
as teachers create their tests quiz and check for information and see the learners learning
once the learner is done taking the quiz the results will show here then the teacher can click "End Activity" once the learner is done
then you will see this screen, "Email Report", "Download Report" No Report" or "Cancel'
so you can email the report to yourself or with the email you used to create Socrative, I choose to use my Socrative email
that way I have backup copy of the report, you c an also choose to download the report
I will show how the download reports looks like, so it downloads the report
and sends it into an Excel document, ill open it so you can see how it looks like
so these are the results that are downloaded when the quiz is over so
you can see a list of the learners names and then there's an individual view of each question and answer
and you'll see that questions that are wrong are marked in red
and questions that are right marked in green
over here at the end it gives you the score and even the percentage that the learner got in the quiz
another thing with Socrative is the single question activity
you can do multiple choice, true false or short answer
with the short answer, this can be a question that you ask in class or that you have written on the bored
you would ask the question then the learners will send a response the click "Submit'
and then all the responses would come into one report, this can also be done with true or false
but overall Socrative is a great tool if you would like to create quick quizzes
you can use it into live classroom discussions its also a great tool
to receive quick feedback from the learners in class, that's one of the things I like about it most
Remember the best part about Socrative is that its free, there is no chare for it
I have never been ask for money, and there is no feature that you gave to pay for yet
but I don't know if it will be free forever.
