6. SOCRATIVE FEATURES CONT.
1. What are your instructional goals for using this
software?
I would use this software for exit tickets and quick answer
quizzes after a lesson. This type of software is great for
educational purposes which would intrigue students in their
learning.
2. If you haven’t used the software before, do you know
colleagues who have? If so, indicate how they used
the software and their general evaluation:
A colleague of mine, who is a seventh grade mathematics
teacher uses Socrative for each of its components. She will
create short quizzes, exit tickets, and even use it for
attendance.
7. POLL EVERYWHERE FEATURES
CONT.
1. What are your instructional goals for using this
software?
A goal I have in using this software is for students retention
in their learning. Throughout lectures or even activities,
students could be given an question to answer to recall a
certain item of the lesson. In addition, in group activities,
students would have to answer a question after each part
of the activity they complete to assess their knowledge.
2. Have you found reviews of this software? If so,
summarize comments from the reviews:
All the reviews on the Poll everywhere website are very
positive and I completely agree. It is very easy to create a
customized poll and get users to contribute in many
different ways of their choice.

10. RECOMMENDATIONS
I would recommend both software’s but in different
settings or based on what your goal is.
Socrative:
• Great for educational settings in K-12 grades.
• Application could already be set up on tablets the school is
available to.
• Homework, quizzes, or exit tickets evaluations.
Poll Everywhere:
• Great for educational (college) and business workshop
settings due to the larger number of participants.
• Easy access with computer, tablet or mobile device readily
available to participants.
