Any keen users to trial this app? (Works from any mobile device, connected to wi-fi)
Well, without calling another (official) iPad User Group Meeting, how about I give a quick demo of the tool to a group of keen iPadders?
So, if, say 3 or more people respond to this forum post, showing interest, then I'll go ahead and book a venue, at a reasonable time slot.
What say you iPadders?

Sure, sounds great. How do I/ we get started?

Hi all
I created a small review test for my Sound Production class this morning and used Socrative in "Teacher-Paced" mode. The students answered 5 questions on my quiz "Audio File Formats". Overall, the students rated Socrative "good - more fun than paper". However, one student suggested that it would be nice to be able to go back and redo a question, but they couldn't.
My own thoughts...
- At the end of the activity (quiz, etc.), having an excel spreadsheet emailed instantly to your NMIT email address of students' responses/answers was good.
- "Teacher-paced" quiz - best for in-class/real-time learning/testing.
- "Student-paced" quiz - best for review of learning from previous week/session.
- Very easy to set up and use
- Limited scope/range of assessment methods
That's it for now. I'll give it another go soon!
Cheers, Doug.
Cheers Doug! Chocolate fish is on its way...Likely to look like this:
The non-app app (!) may not be so good for summative exams, but looks like a quick revision, with short questions is enough to energise the class. Sounds really feasible! Good to create a change of pace/activity even a method 
As for being able to re-do a question - would it be a good idea to re-set the test (as a teacher) and tell the students they'll have 2 chances to respond? (I personally freak out at exams under set time and just freeze!)
The app was fine. I'll have a play out of office hours tonight. Carole
