Preparation, what do before the session
⦁ Before planning your Socrative activities, think about the learning goals you want your students to achieve. This will assist you in designing activities that align with your instructional goals and ensure that you effectively use Socrative to support STEM learning.
⦁ Sign up: Create a free account on the socrative website and create a quiz.
⦁ Create interactive, engaging activities: Use Socrative to create interactive, engaging, and STEM-related activities. You could, for example, design quizzes that require students to solve problems, identify patterns, or apply concepts to real-world scenarios.
⦁ Plan interactive activities such as videos, images, and graphs. Use these resources to assist students in visualising abstract concepts and connecting STEM topics to real-world applications.
⦁ Use the collaborative features of Socrative, such as the “Space Race” game, to encourage students to collaborate and compete in a fun and interactive way.
During application, i.e. while giving the session
⦁ Present to your students how to use the website or app and how to enter the unique code or link to access the activity.
⦁ During class, assign a Socrative activity to your students. It can be – introduce a new topic, review material, or assess student comprehension.
⦁ As your students complete the activity, use Socrative’s reporting tools to track their progress in real-time. Use this data to identify areas where students may require additional assistance or to adjust your instruction as necessary. Use Socrative to conduct formative assessments in class.
⦁ Provide incentives or rewards for participation to encourage your students to use Socrative. Make the activity more engaging and interactive using Socrative’s gamification features, such as the “Space Race” game.
Follow-up after the session
⦁ As your students complete the activity, give them immediate feedback.
⦁ Based on their responses, you can adjust your instruction to address any misconceptions or gaps in their understanding.
