A new tool that I am reviewing and playing with is Socrative. I am trying to do the emoji paragraphs that we were shown how to do at he InnovatEd conference. I have been watching videos and playing around with it, but I still have some to learn. My plan was to introduce it on Tech Tuesday last week, but I had a conference and therefore got bumped until tomorrow (Feb 26). I am interviewing a colleague about how she uses it and what she finds most useful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upY8uG3NFfY&feature=youtu.be There are various options for instant feedback from the class on the understanding and concepts that were taught recently. There are Quiz, Space Race, Exit Ticket questions, multiple choice options, T/F and (what I am trying to figure out) a Short Answer section that I can use with the random emoji generator. It offers a lot of great and useful tools, but my concern is that it takes time to set up each test and quiz and in my job right now, I do no have a prep for Language Arts and I have 7 classes that I teach that I need time to plan for. I think it would be much easier to use as a middle school teacher that can use it over and over again and see the benefits of making it, instead of just having it as a one time use. I never know what I am going to teach from year to year with grade or curriculum and as great as this would be to use, it takes time to set up for students. My goal this week is to use Socrative on Tuesday and practice writing with short answer and the emoji generator.

It sounds interesting and like it has a lot of moving parts. I could definitely see how you would not want to set it up and use it for 7 unique classes. I didn't have time to watch your attached video but I'd love to check out Socrative.
