### "Socrative"

March 22, 2022

4.0

I have been using it as an integration tools with my students at class. It allows me to set the proper environmet to the learning process leaving the knowledge and participations to the class.

Pros

It´s easy to use, easy to understand and easy to create fun ways to interact with people with the platform

Cons

I guess that the platforma could offer more different ways to set quizes and gamification activities

### "Great for interactive classes"

February 26, 2025

4.0

Pros

I like the quick answer with the choice to vote on answers. I use it with large numbers of students. I also like the competitive aspect of space race

Cons

Some options aren't intuitive. For example, you need to edit the quiz from the library before going to lauch

### "It was a great program"

October 26, 2023

2.0

Up to this year excellent, but I will not be continuing they have become greedy and don't respect long term customers.

Pros

The layout, the space race option and the reports on the finished quizzes.

Cons

The price hike, the locking of quizzes suddenly, unless you now pay the huge subscription fee, was $79 now $119 (or for all the options) $199. They have only made two pay plans that are so far apart of each other. Upping the price $50 without any notice about constraints has cost me a lot of time and work. Of the 70 quizzes I had I can now only access 5. They own everything you make on the site ( buried in the terms and conditions).

Reason for choosing Socrative

At the time, friendly service a good price and ease of use, but no longer is it like this.

### "Socrative is great "

May 27, 2022

5.0

I have used it to answer and make quizzes and it is one of the best options.

Pros

What I like the most is that it has a great analysing section.

Cons

What I like the least is that it may not be very fun. It is a good way to grade students, and to study, but it is not very attractive. It isn't really fun and because of that, it may inspire stress in the users.

Pros

It is an easy to use tool for creating and maintaining customizeable student assessments.

Cons

I wish there were more easy integration with Classroom and Google Forms.

### "socrative "

April 8, 2021

4.0

I have been using Socrative from last 4 years, it is really easy to create a quiz and test for general chemistry classes and definitely worth of money

Pros

It's easy to use, we can add upto nine classes, easy to switch from class to class. Very helpful for in-class quizzes and tests. I always used multiple versions of quizzes at the same time. It helps an instructor to monitor the quiz grades immediately.

Cons

It is suitable for general chemistry classes not for organic chemistry and upper level classes because it is not possible to draw the structures, although one can upload the chemdraws, the clarity is not good.

### "Review Game Fun"

October 28, 2020

4.0

My students and I enjoy using Socrative for reviewing for quizzes and tests. I really enjoy the space race feature that gives a competitive aspect to their assessment. I also like how it will grade multiple choice assessments for you.

Pros

I use Socrative for review games in my classroom and I really enjoy being able to see live results as students are answering questions. I also like how it allows you to import Excel files of assessments into the program.

Cons

I'm a math teacher so I use a lot of equations and it does not let me type in more complicated mathematical equations. Also it has become a little dated, I've been using it for a long time and it hasn't changed much in the last few years.

### "Love Socrative!"

December 17, 2020

5.0

Overall great! I’m a fan. Especially of Socrative pro!

Pros

Great tool for teaching, learning, and testing. I’m a language teacher and my students can use the flash cards easily to internalize new vocabulary. They love the different games as well. I’m actually Socrative Pro which allows me to open different rooms simultaneously and that is a great feature for differentiating.

Cons

The fact that I can’t just easily download my class rosters. It isn’t compatible with everything and I would need to do this manually which is very time consuming.

### "Socrative: Pros and Cons"

November 24, 2020

3.0

Pros

What I liked best about the software was how quickly and easily I could see which questions students got or didn't get thanks to the color coding. I was also able to export reports very easily. That made compiling 'data' very easy to do.

Cons

The biggest knock and why I stopped using it was the fact that students couldn't save progress and then log back in to finish later. With more and more students having to learn from home without very stable or quality internet, this just is no longer an option.

### "Un ottimo strumento per la scuola digitale"

May 8, 2023

4.0

Complessivamente l'esperienza con Socrative si è rivelata assai utile per sperimentare l'uso della tecnologia durante la lezione, seppur limitato, l'uso gratuito permette di formulare 5 quiz diversi che se ben ponderati nell'anno scolastico possono creare una routine legata all'utilizzo dell'app. Risponde alle esigenze della scuola di oggi che chiede di essere interattivi e multimediali

Pros

Socrative mi ha permesso di creare dei quiz personalizzati per verificare gli apprendimenti dei miei alunni, decidendo io domande e opzioni di risposta ( scelta multipla, risposte aperte oppure vero/falso) . Questo lo rende una piattaforma versatile ed estremamente utile a partire dalla scuola primaria, ma volendo anche alle medie. Gli alunni possono essere invitati a partecipare al quiz tramite qr code che inquadrano dal loro device, per esempio noi a scuola utilizziamo i tablet. Si è verificato uno strumento essenziale per sperimentare l'uso della tecnologia attraverso una programmazione orizzontale dell'informatica, che come disciplina deve far parte di qualsiasi materia. Una volta finiti di rispondere l'insegnante su pc riceve istantaneamente dei feedback, non soltanto sul numero di errori commessi, ma anche sul tipo di errore. Questo aspetto si è dimostrato veramente utile.

Cons

2 sono gli aspetti critici di quest'app: il primo è che non è totalmente gratuito e alcune funzionalità sono possibili solo nella versione PRO, la versione gratuita permette di creare gratuitamente solo 5 quiz. La versione pro costa circa 100 euro all'anno ma potrebbe essere usata come licenza per ben 20 classi quindi se fosse a spese dell'istituto comprensivo non si tratta di una cifra alta. Purtroppo l'acquisto da parte del singolo è poco funzionale e proibitivo. il secondo riguarda piuttosto l'aspetto grafico dell'applicazione, molto pulita e lineare, si rivela poco affabile per i bambini più piccoli per i quali sarebbero gradite animazioni e stimoli visivi.

Pros

L'ho utilizzato da studentessa ed è stato un ottimo supporto per le lezioni, sia come strumento di valutazione della comprensione dei moduli trattati, sia per testare la preparazione generale prima di presentare un argomento.

Cons

Per l'utilizzo che ne ho fatto, non ho riscontrato particolari inconvenienti.

### "Utilissimo"

October 6, 2022

5.0

Ho iniziato a utilizzare il software nel periodo del lockdown, durante la didattica a distanza, per far svolgere le verifiche ai miei alunni. Si è rivelato veramente molto utile e ho continuato ad usarlo anche dopo.

Pros

L'utilizzo è molto facile e intuitivo. È possibile creare vari tipi di test (domande con risposta a scelta multipla, vero - falso,... ) e i ragazzi riescono ad accedere facilmente. Una volta effettuata la prova di verifica, è possibile scaricare il report con i risultati e la cartella con le verifiche corrette da inviare nuovamente agli alunni.

Cons

Non ho riscontrato aspetti negativi fino ad ora.

### "Space Race Reviewing"

July 19, 2021

4.0

I really like it because it gives student an interactive review experience.

Pros

I like how there is a teacher paced option so that student don't just rush though a quiz but have to stop after each question and wait for an explaination.

Cons

Not very user friendly for math equations. So far the best way to insert them is to add it as a picture and that takes more time than it is worth.

May 11, 2023

4.0

He utilizado esta herramienta en talleres sobre alimentación saludable en colegios. Creando cuestionarios interactivos y encuestas que me han permitido evaluar el conocimiento y las necesidades de los alumnos en relación a su alimentación y nutrición.

Pros

Es una herramienta excepcional para crear actividades de evaluación formativa. Me encanta la facilidad con la que puedo crear cuestionarios interactivos y juegos educativos que involucran a los estudiantes y les hagan sentir más motivados.

Cons

Teniendo en cuenta que solo he utilizado la versión gratuita, podría decir que los contras son las limitaciones que tiene esta versión.
