Socrative
When you hear the words "Pop Quiz" what goes through your mind? Does your heart rate speed up? Do your palms start to sweat? Can you remember your own name, or does your mind draw a complete blank?
Teachers always want to evaluate what their students know in a low pressure way that doesn't cause the students test anxiety. What teachers and students want is a fun and quick way to test and review the content that has been taught. Socrative is a great way to use technology to quickly assess students comprehension.
Teachers write a quiz and share the URL with the class. Socrative can be used as an individual quiz or in teams. Teachers can ask questions in T/F, multiple choice or open ended format, teachers can even mix formats and choose one of each. One great feature of Socrative is the team option. Teams can choose different icons to represent them, for example rockets, bears, unicorns, etc. The teams have the exact same questions and when they answer correctly it moves the icon along.

Teachers are able to see what information is understood and what may need clarification. Socrative also gives teachers the ability to share quizzes with other teachers.
Socrative is a free site with limited options unless you subscribe to PRO paid account. This site also takes some getting used to. I suggest dabbling with it to see what the site has to offer.
