Socrative Update

I posted about Socrative earlier in this blog, but they have some new updates that I think are worthy of mentioning.  One new feature is that you can now add images to multiple choice and true/false questions.  This will be great for math problems and diagrams.  The second feature is that Socrative now attempts to grade short answers.  Teachers put in the answer(s) that are acceptable.

Socrative:  Probably my favorite.  Turn any computer, laptop, tablet or smart phone into a clicker repsonse system.  Teachers can create an instant Multiple Choice or Short Answer quiz by asking the question orally and students sending their answers in via their device.  Or, teachers can pre-create a test in Socrative for students to take.  In this format, teachers mark the correct answers and get an excel spreadsheet showing all of the answers. 
Pro:  Easy to use, Free, Allows teachers to ask questions without pre-making a test (formative assessment)
Con:  I don't see anything right now that is super negative about this.
