12. Don'ts of using Socrative
In previous chapter we covered "Do's", what are the "don'ts" of using Socrative?
This is the list of "Don'ts" when using Socrative:
Socrative only reliance: Biggest no-no of using Socrative is relying strictly on assessment of Socrative quizzes. You shouldn't evaluate student's work only based on the quizzes that you make in Socrative. Try to do a hybrid form of the assessment, combine it with "old-school" forms of assessment and once in a while use Socrative to get out of stereotype.
Overusage: It is highly connected with the first "don't". Don't overuse Socrative. Use different applications or do classic activities with your audience. Be creative!
Fail to monitor audience's engagement: Always observe your student's participation and their responses. Make sure that they are equally engaged in the activity.
Positive response towards gamification: If you decide to use gamification via Socrative, make sure it is appropriate within your students. Consider whether everyone will respond to competetive aspect positively or at least equally.
