Session 2: 9:30 - 10:20
Using Socrative to Assess Student Knowledge: Do you want to give quick quizzes, take a survey, or quickly assess what your students know? Socrative lets teachers engage and assess their students with educational activities on desktop computers, tablets, laptops, ipods and smartphones. Through the use of real time questioning and results, teachers can gauge the whole class’ current level of understanding. Socrative saves teachers time so the class can further grow as a community of learners. (Partially taken from the Socrative website.)

Integrating Innovative Technology in the Classroom: The proliferation of technology gives teachers an awesome opportunity to use technology to enhance learning. What is best to use? How do we decide?

In this session, we examine your goals in order to find the most appropriate technology for your classroom learning experience.
