Use the Socrative teacher’s app or Web site to create formative assessments, which students take on the Socrative Student app, installed on mobile devices. Teachers can create quizzes or pose questions in class and get immediate feedback. The answers students provide to most questions through Socrative are anonymous. The one exception is the quiz. Students are asked to enter their names, which only the instructor can see. The instructor can ask spontaneous questions with the Single Question Activities or can create student self-paced quizzes or teacher-paced quizzes ahead of time. Instructors can cover a certain amount of content in a lecture and then pose a True/False, multiple-choice, or short answer / open-ended question. The instructor can project the class responses immediately and follow up with a discussion, or go back and repeat or review content that may be revealed as unclear to students.

TED-Ed is a free educational Web site with an online library of lessons for teachers and learners.

You can then distribute the lessons, publicly or privately, and track a student's understanding of the lesson. Once you complete your lesson, TED-Ed will send you information on how to access and monitor student progress.

In this activity, learners watch a short animated video on the conservation of mass. They then take a short quiz and respond online to a class discussion. You will be able to view how many students have started the lesson, which students have engaged with the lesson, and a summary of how they performed on the multiple-choice questions attached.
