Socrative

 

Socrative is a cloud-based student response system. It allows teachers to create simple quizzes that students can take quickly on laptops – or, more often, via classroom tablet computers or their own smartphones.

 

I used Socrative for Geography Grade 12 classes.  I set up a test for each topic. After a topic was covered, the learners wrote the test on their smartphones.  The questions were compiled using previous years' final examination papers.
