Tech Applications​
Socrative Application - FREE - Website - Hands on Demo
Bill Koppes 30 July 2013
Socrative is a free assessment and student response application that can be used across any device that can access the internet. Brilliantly simple, effective, and easy to use. Watch the video for a run down of the application. If you'd like to see it in action then stop by during the first five minutes of any of my classes. We use it daily to execute our bell ringer activity in every class.
