Socrative is an online tool that allows teachers to create formative assessments for students. Teachers can create multiple choice, true/false, or open response quizzes that provide immediate feedback. Student responses are collated into an Excel report for teachers. Socrative quizzes can be student-paced or teacher-paced. Teachers can also conduct impromptu quizzes by dictating questions orally and having students enter and vote on responses. Both Socrative and Google Forms are easy to use formative assessment tools that provide quick feedback to teachers and students.
