Socrative Applications

Socrative is a great website that allows teachers to create test and quizzes for their students to take online or over their phones. I created a quiz about Star Wars and had my parents and friend take it. I also took the quiz to see how it worked from the student's perspective. Besides me the best grade on my quiz was a 40% from my dad. Besides the poor grades the actual site is very useful and can be used as a good way for students or community members to take a survey. It is also useful if a student is sick, they just have to make sure to log on at the right time and they can take the quiz from home. However, I don't like how if for some reason a student can not take the quiz the same time as the rest of the class you have to open it up at a later time and he is excluded from the data table.  I would also prefer if the data table showed different statistics instead of showing the number of total points the entire class got compared to what the entire class could have gotten ( if 4 students take a 10 question quiz and each get 7 out of 10 it shows 28/40) I'd rather see the class average. I also had an issue with my friend who took the quiz over their phone. On my live feed it showed that they skipped a question but they didn't. and when I pulled up the data sheet it showed that she did answer all of the questions. That is just a minor bug. Overall I really like this tool and will continue to use it.
