After spending some time with my fifth graders and reviewing our District's Climate Survey given to all students, I decided to conduct my own impromptu survey. I felt like I needed some more concise information from my kiddos if I was going to help them work on making our campus a "kinder" place to be.  I used Socrative. It was a wonderful tool that allowed me to survey my students and quickly create a plan to move forward.  It's a great tool in the classroom for giving quizzes with immediate feedback--which is crucial for the learning process. Socrative has great components such as allowing open-ended questions and it automatically compiles the data in charts & graphs for referencing. Having quick turn around times with data allowed us to immediately form student groups that are in the process of creating projects they feel will enhance the atmosphere here at Joy James El. Student driven using student data.  It's exciting to have tools that empower us(students/teachers/administrators) to make a big difference in our world.
