Socrative

The find: 
Socrative.  With just a few clicks, a teacher can set up quizzes, exit tickets, even a racing game that contain true/false, multiple choice, or short answer questions.  These are then sent to your students' smart devices who get immediate feedback.  Upon completion, a spreadsheet with results is downloadable for the teacher.

Discussion point:  For those of you with experience with each, how do you think socrative compares to CPS (clickers)?

The test:
We built a sophomore level multiple choice quice used as a vocabulary review as well as a 'space race' bell-ringer for a staff development session.  Once you set up your account and become familiar with the tools on the website (approximately an hour), each quiz takes only minutes to create.  Students do not need an account, just a device with internet access. 

Discussion point:  Is anyone having problems with socrative being blocked by their school's internet security filters?
