Review of Socrative

Description
     Socrative is a sudents' response system used in tablets, lap-top computers, smartphones or other web-enabled technology. It is very easy to use. You can access to it just with your e-mail address and password. It has two faces: for teachers and for students. As a teacher, you make questions, import other's questions and confirm the students' response. For students, they can meet the questions with the teacher's roomnumber and answer them individually.

Pros
     The good point of Socrative is ease to use. Even though you are a beginner at web devices, you can create quizzes and surveys very easily, even adding images. And simply you can check how much students understand the class and get the information about who needs more effort by receiving the results quickly. You are  also able to import others' questions, so it is possible to save and prepare many questions before the class. Another positive thing is that you can make students participate in class actively. They are frantic with using web machines. Their cell phones are not just troublemakers but can be educational devices. And finally, all the students' activity is done individually so that you can know the students' level secretly, in other words, students need not to be shy at the low grade.

Cons
     It may be a disadvantage for you not to enter quizzes with students simultaneouly. It can not make you add something while you and your students work together. Another thing to be worried is that when the web-devices do not work, or need much time to work, the whole class should wait and you may have difficulty in class.

Overall feeling
     Socrative is very effective  to check the students' understanding and get the feedback for making next teaching materials. Very simply and conveniently you can make questions and get the results of surveys. The ease of use of it can make you have confidence and keep in touch with other web-based educational apps.
