I really enjoyed the presentation on Socrative. Starting out the presentation with a mock lesson that showed a comparison between using Socrative for a quiz and using regular paper and pencil was a fantastic idea. This comparison really led me to think about the benefits and the downfalls of using this online assessment tool.

I see Socrative as a really beneficial tool for simple assessments of knowledge. I think it would work well for vocabulary or simple conjugation quizzes in a language classroom. I like that students can get immediate feedback and can move at their own pace.

Socrative is one of the tools that definitely makes you consider access to technology. I would not want students to be held back by lack of access to technology when it comes to assessment. If my school had great access to laptops for the students, I would definitely use this tool in class so that students can see their mistakes right away. If my school had constant problems with laptop carts, slow moving and non-functioning computers, I would probably steer clear of this resource unless I knew all of my students had internet and computer access at home.

Overall, Socrative seems like a great teacher tool and I will keep it in consideration for future use. The in class presentation on it really sold me on some of the benefits that a website like this can offer your classroom!
