Since I have had the ipads I have been looking for ways to do on the spot, interactive assessments. Last year I used Socrative and I showed it to many here in our district. After using it for awhile I realized it had some limitations that made it only useable for certain types of assessments. I could not format text so I could not do anything with poetry. I could not put whole passages on in for students to read so I still had to print documents for the students.
Then along comes infuse learning.
"Infuse Learning allows teachers to push questions, prompts, and quizzes out to students' devices in private virtual classrooms. In an Infuse Learning room a teacher can give students a wide variety of formats in which to response to a question or prompt. Students can reply to prompts and questions in standard multiple choice, true/false, and short answer formats. But Infuse Learning also offers an option for students to reply by creating drawings or diagrams on their iPads, Android tablets, or on their laptops." Richard Byrne of Free Technology for Teachers

What I really like about this site in particular is the draw response. It allows you to take a picture of something and then have the students annotate it. They submit their annotations as pictures. I also love that it keeps track of class data. Although I haven't played with it much. This site seems to offer greater possibilities than Socrative!
