Grays Socrative Technology Workshop

Lesson Plan
Overview: Our goal is to use data to find effective strategies to improve student academic
achievement. Socrative is a student response system that allows you to collect data by building
assessments and seeing results in real-time while engaging and assess students using
smartphones, laptops, and tablets.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this professional development, teachers will be able to:
Discover how Socrative can aid them in meeting the vision and goals established in the
School Improvement Plan
Explore the benefits of Socrative by creating quizzes, quick questions, a space race and
exit tickets.
Implement Socrative as a tool to engage students in the learner process, while assessing
students current knowledge and skills.
Implement Socrative as a tool to aid them in collecting data as they obtain immediate
feedback on student progress
Create goals for ways to implement Socrative into their own classrooms to engage
students and collect data.
