Socrative

Website (for teachers) and App (for students)

Introduction 
Socrative is an app which allows teachers to set quizzes for their students and get real-time results. An excellent tool to use during a revision lesson or at the end of class, socrative is an effective tool as it can be used as an informal assessment for the student or a tool to see how the class is going as a whole.

Lesson Integration
Socrative is an ideal tool for informal assessment at the start or beginning of a lesson to either look at what the students have learnt during the lesson, what they have retained from last lesson or as a formative tool to see what they already know at the start of a lesson or unit. Following on from my example above, it is a great app for testing HSC students about a particular topic such as cells and microbiology.

When used like this, outcomes covered could include:
7.1.6.3.1 explains why the biochemical processes that occur in cells are related to macroscopic changes in the organism
8.3.1.2. identify cell organelles seen with current light and electron microscopes
