 * Best Practice Use: ** Use this app to check for understanding, as an exit ticket in the classroom, as a formative assessment tool, for student feedback during lessons.

Students will use their mobile devices to provide input or feedback during a lesson activity.
 * Student Procedure: **
 * Students download the Socrative Student App (available for iPad, iPhone, Android, iPod) or use a device with the app downloaded. Students can also use laptops with a web browser and go to @http://m.socrative.com
 * One the app or web site opens, the students enter the teacher’s room number and tap “Join Room.”
 * Teachers should open the Teacher app or open the teacher site:   @http://t.socrative.com and tap “Start Quiz” to begin their preloaded quiz.
 * Questions begin appearing once the teacher has started the quiz.


 * Follow-up: **
 * Now that you have completed this activity, brain storm other ways that you might use Socrative in the curriculum.
 * Here are a few: as a lesson starter to review concepts from homework or the previous days lesson, to check for understanding as a lesson is presented, as a “Clicker” replacement, as an exit ticket at the end of the class/activity.
 * “How could you adapt this activity to work with your students?”
