Great Teaching Tool

Overall I think it’s a great tool and can really enhance teaching!

PROS

I liked Socrates because it’s easy to use and you can send out a quiz in real time to students. It’s all electronic so no paper waste.

CONS

One thing is it can give some anxiety as you go through the questions together causing some students to rush.

Kids Love It!

My overall experience has been good. I feel that it has been a good review program in math and language arts for the kids. I love that I can monitor their progress and reassign skills that they need to work on.

PROS

What I like most about this software is that the kids love going on it. The kids are learning math and language arts but then get rewarded with games, cards, etc. It is a win, win situation.

CONS

There isn't much that I didn't like about the software. It does seem like they play games a lot, but it can be controlled, so it's not much of a problem.

Popular learning game.

Socrates has been easy to use and our personal service has been great!

PROS

High interest level for my students. They love the games. All students are able to use it independently.

CONS

The students can earn the rewards too easily and need more of a challenge before being rewarded and being able to play games.

Socrates is Always Growing and Changing

Our experience with Socrates has been great and I love that Socrates is always willing to adapt and change the software to make it fit the needs of elementary students and teachers.

PROS

I love the benchmarking feature! It is really helpful to teachers to be able to benchmark students in an untimed, computer scored manner :)

CONS

I would like to see the software include a reteaching feature, like when a student answers a question wrong, it will reteach or teach them the skill.

Individualized support for students via technology

Overall, Socrates is a great progressive platform to support students' learning.

PROS

This program provides individualized support to students, while also encouraging them along the way! This program progressively identifies where a student IS and supports them to reaching where they need to be - while also incorporating their interests!

CONS

At times, the games on Socrates feel interesting to students, which is GREAT; online teaching, however, is just challenging. Ensuring that the students are accurately progressing and completing units at times can be a challenge!
