2. What is it? http://www.socrative.com
It is a free website/ app that you can use to create a variety of assessments to connect with your students' understanding
You can create the content or find and use shared content
There is a "new" paid feature called Pro, but its not necessary, just more features
Any device can use this product: laptop, phone, tablet, smartboard, etc.

3. Why do I like it? Ease of use
Instant feedback or grades depending on how you set up your assessments
Make up tests are easier to administer
Stored reports (no more lost papers)
Using and editing tests is easy
Student Log in is simple

4. How do I use it?
Final Spelling Tests on Fridays: Students choose from a multiple choice list of words.
Vocabulary Tests: Fill in the blank, multiple choice, etc.
Retesting and read aloud tests: With other students taking the test on Socrative, I can read aloud the test to students who have this modification.
Note: I plan to use this more with exit tickets and morning questions this coming year.

5. Okay, so now what? Well, I just created an account and "self-taught."
