Socrative

 

Easy steps to use Socrative in the classroom

 

 

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.

 

 

Class dojo

 

Class Dojo is used to manage behaviour in the classroom.  Each student has a profile. Teachers can assign positive and negative points (or 'dojos') throughout the lesson.  Class  Dojo can be used as a school communication platform for teachers, students, and parents.   The management of classroom behaviour can be a lot of fun with Class Dojo
