Welcome to Socrative! We are happy to have you in the community. Like you,
we think it’s important to visualize student understanding. That’s why we’ve
developed an easy-to-use tool for building assessments and seeing results in
real-time. It’s everything you need to improve instruction and help student
learning.
Although it’s a very intuitive tool, everything in life should come with a manual,
so let’s get started with ours:
