 Educator Usage

Substitution - Instead of distributing and collecting physical worksheets, teachers can create digital quizzes that students complete on their devices.

Augmentation - As students complete activities, teachers and students can immediately view class and individual performance data, allowing for on-the-spot instructional adjustments. This real-time insight enhances the teacher's ability to address misconceptions or reinforce concepts promptly. Learners can compare their results to their peers instantaneously.

Modification - The platform modifies how teachers approach formative assessment. With features like the "Exit Ticket" function, teachers can quickly gauge student understanding at the end of a lesson, modifying their teaching plans for the next session based on this immediate feedback.

Redefinition - Socrative's "Space Race" feature transforms quizzes into collaborative team games, fostering peer learning and healthy competition. In a flipped classroom model, teachers can use Socrative to create pre-class assessments that inform in-person instruction
