- Socrative (http://socrative.com/)- One of the first I tested. Once you've created an account, it assigns you a room number. When students go to http://m.socrative.com/student/#joinRoom they enter your room number and wait for you to open a question. You can type questions in advance or say them aloud on the fly. Question types include: T/F, multiple choice, and short answer.
- InfuseLearning (http://www.infuselearning.com/) - similar to Socrative except you have additional question types to choose from. There's still T/F, multiple choice, and short answer, but students can also sort answers (put in order) and DRAW - great for math!!
- Kahoot.it (teacher: create.kahoot.it kids: kahoot.it) - the kids love this! You do have to type questions in advance (or choose from other public kahoots already created). It's set up like a game - with game music of course. You select a time limit for each question, and every game has a pin number for the students to enter the game. When students answer a question, the earn "Kahoots" (instead of points) if the question is right, and they earn more kahoots the faster they answer the question. The website also will tell them what place they are in compared to their classmates. This is a good review type activity. We used it to practice our math facts, and my kids begged to do more!
All three provide you with feedback on student understanding. You can see what questions were answered correctly, and in many cases, how long it took to answer each question.
