Tech Tools for Interactive Remote Teaching Webinar
Socrative is a quiz-based, formative assessment tool with multiple features that can enrich teaching and learning. Teachers can design quizzes, space races (picture being at the county fair and squirting water at a target to move a horse across the field…just like that but for quizzes!), exit tickets, and more to collect and analyze student data in real-time to make on-the-spot teaching changes and improve student learning.
Math: A third grade teacher has taught his first lesson on fractions. Some of his students seem to be perplexed on the notion of fractions being parts of wholes. Before delving further into content, he provides his learners with a Quick Question so that he may adapt his lesson to address the needs of his challenged students.
Health: After a lesson on scrutinizing food labels for glucose, sodium, and fat content, students enrolled in a health class have been assigned to teams. Their health teacher launched a Space Race quiz so that teams can determine the overall nutrient value of various food products. The team who can complete each question correctly within 20 minutes wins the race.
Community Organizing: A community organizer has assembled citizens of a U.S. census tract that has experienced disproportionately high rates of lung cancer. A developer has petitioned the local government to build a waste incinerator within the census tract’s borders. After the community organizer’s presentation on the health and economic impact of waste incineration on other communities, she invites citizens to access Socrative’s Exit Ticket feature. Exit Ticket will allow the community organizer to address any lingering questions or misconceptions before the next event.
