Great Teaching Tool
Overall I think it’s a great tool and can really enhance teaching!
PROSI 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.
CONSOne 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.
PROSWhat 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.
CONSThere 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!
PROSHigh interest level for my students. They love the games. All students are able to use it independently.
CONSThe 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.
PROSI love the benchmarking feature! It is really helpful to teachers to be able to benchmark students in an untimed, computer scored manner :)
CONSI 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.
PROSThis 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!
CONSAt 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!

Socrates Ease
The students can access this program at home and they are learning as they turn to this program rather than a video game at home and hopefully this will happen more and more. They love competing with their peers for the most tickets & medals. Each day they want to see who received the most tickets, so it is up on the board every morning and the winner gets to turn their card to purple (which is an "I went above and beyond" token).
PROSWhat I like most about Socrates is that the students love it and it keeps them engaged. They love the challenge of working towards tickets. They use their whiteboards on the math questions and this keeps their minds going.
CONSMaybe a little less game time, work more problems before playing. The questions are fun for the students so a lot of game time is not necessary.

Individualized Learning
This product makes it very easy for an educator to individualize learning in the classroom. With numerous levels for learning and achievement, students can learn at their own pace. Multimedia resources astounding, teachers are able to use specific targeted sources for whole group instruction as well. Excellent product!
CONSIt would be nice if this was a comprehensive SLM.

Intuitive, Individualized Learning
I really like the individualized, leveled learning and ease of generating progress reporting!
PROSI love that this software individualizes according to each students needs and that students can work on their skills independently. My students have been very engaged and enjoy working on Socrates.
CONSThere is really nothing that I dislike about the software. It has helped us to address individual learner needs.

Great for Instructional Support
My students LOVE to solve math problems and earn tokens to play the games. They have so much fun that they don't even realize they're "learning" while they play.
CONSThe initial log-in page is very busy and I've been told by parents before that they are confused and unable to help their child because they don't know what to click on to begin the program.

Great to use in my classroom as a treat or brain break in my classroom.
PROSThe software was very easy to learn and implement in my classroom. When an issue did arise, the customer support "chat" was very to use and they were very responsive and friendly!
CONSThe software is very fun for the students, but it is very easy just play and not much learning, when some students realize they can just guess randomly until they get it right to continue playing the games.

Great for Students
I love it. The individualized learning paths for students creates an opportunity for students to learn st their own pace while obtaining the information they need.
PROSThis is a great interactive platform for supplemental education for students. The platform looks like a video game platform which is very attractive to students. Provides individualized learning paths for students. Similar to a BARBRI or Themis test prep where it adjusts based on the students understanding.
CONSIndividualized plans may cause students to fall into a comparison strategy, however this really has nothing to do with the software itself. It's just a collateral effect. Adults/ teachers/ Parents utilizing the software for multiple children should know how to address this with multiple students.

A New Approach to Tech Supported Learning
I like the fact that it is intuitive. It actually is able to isolate strengths and weaknesses which is ideal for differentiation. I also love their customer support.

Socrates
I really like Socrates and recommend teachers using it to check for understanding durring the lecture with the quiz component.
PROSI really liked using this software to ask questions in class and have every student answer the question. This is a quick easy way to check for understanding.
CONSThe kids really like answering the questions and using this program, but it can be a distraction from the lecture.

I've heard about Socrates and just used it once but I wanna continue using it with my elementary school classes. I liked the engine that adjusts the content to match the learning needs of every student -in a very individual way.
CONSI haven't notice anything negative until now.

Great software that is super simple and easy to use.

CONSI have not had problems with it so far, although I have not used it enough to discover any problems with it.
