Hello everyone, 

Socrative is an online test application that can be applied simultaneously inside or outside the classroom. When the test is over, you can get instant reports based on class, student or question. An application called Socrative Student and Socrative Teacher can be used in two different ways. 

The student does not need to be a member in the Socrative Student application. A student who opens the Socrative application with a mobile phone, tablet, computer, etc. needs only the room number given by the teacher. After the student enters the room, he can answer the questions as soon as the teacher starts the test.

The Socrative Teacher is the platform where the teacher will prepare his questions and apply the test. Three different types of questions can be prepared as multiple choice, true-false and short-answer questions.

I opened an account and prepared a quiz. This is screenshot of my work on Socrative.

I hope everything in your life is fine. Today I am with you with a new topic. I am going to tell you about 21 st Century Skills. Technology is changing our world. Routine knowledge and skills are being renewed. So what are these skills? They are skills such as collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, information literacy. All of these are important to improve teaching styles. I chose creativity to tell you.

Creativity is the use of imagination and original ideas to create different things. Improving creativity and creative-thinking skill has immense practical benefits for both teachers and students.

Creativity promotes well-being and happiness. People who have the opportunity to express their creativity, learn in an easier and more enjoyable way. Students can learn how to be creative by solving problems, creating systems, or just trying something they haven’t tried before.As a student learns about their creativity, they also learn how to express it in healthy and productive ways. 

So are there any ways to improve creativity? Of course, yes. I listed some of the ways you can use to improve creativity. They are:

. Commit yourself to creativity 

. Take risks

. Trust yourself 

. Have time for creativity 

. Use brainstorm to find new ideas

. Use mind maps (You can use MindMeister) 

. Read more.
