A Classroom Response System That Works Via Your Smartphone.
This is a tool that we tried in class. I think it's a fantastic way of engaging students who are obsessed with playing with their phones during lessons. Instead of being on Twitter or Facebook, they can instead be engaged in the class - via Socrative, which can be downloaded as a mobile app.
This is a way of implementing the classroom response system without 'clickers'. Of course it does heavily depend on all students having access to their own mobile device, which my class do. However, the same rules apply; the success of using this tool depends wholly on the teacher creating effective questions that will test and engage the students, and support the learning objectives.
Here's how it works:
It's super simple to use and only takes seconds to login. It runs on tablets, smartphones, and laptops.
The students simply go to www.socrative.com and type in the room number to enter the room.
WHAT A GREAT LITTLE TOOL THIS IS!
