Socrative is an assessment tool through which the teachers assign quizzes and exit tickets to students routinely and assess and give feedback instantly. It can be accessed through web browsers and does not need any apps or programs to be downloaded. There are different assessment choices such as traditional quizzes, space race (students compete with each other by answering the questions) and exit tickets. There are also ''quick questions'' that are done during the lesson. So instead of teacher orally asking a question, there will be some pre-prepared questions on the program and students can answer them on Socrative. This garanties that every student tries get to answer, which is not really possible in classes, normally; however, it can be disruptive. Teachers can actively track students' movements: which student is doing what at that time.
I would assign brief exit tickets for every lesson that the students have with me and they would need to be done on the same day so as to make sure students do not forget what they learned. At the end of each unit, students could play the space race in the classroom to make a fun assessment-type revision of all the subjects and would definitely have a quiz for every unit, in the classroom. (School computer lab or students phones can be used for all the in-class activities)
