Socrative assessment

Recently, in my edtech class we were assigned to create an assessment on a website called Socrative.com. We had to come up with 10 questions that could really do with anything. Mine consisted of mainly history questions since I am a history secondary education major. We then worked with a few other classmates who were in the same career path as we were to answer eachothers assessments so that we could obtain a results spreadsheet. The questions that we came up with could be answered three different ways; short answer, true or false and multiple choice, which is pretty much how most assessments are these days. I particularly like those three different types of questions because you make the students think a little harder, maybe trick them with some and make sure they are reading carefully and make some fairly easy. I would have liked to maybe make it a little more interactive. For example, putting a picture of Abraham Lincoln and having the student name who it is or inserting a video of the remake of the meeting at the Appomatox Courthouse in Virginia and see if they can determine what it is and who is there. All in all though it would a cool experience creating a test and getting other people to take it and seeing the results happen right in front of your eyes.
