Connecting your Socrative room to a Showbie class allows you to add Socrative quizzes to Showbie assignments.
Connect a Socrative Room from Class Settings
To set-up the link, start by going into your class and tap the wrench icon:
Tap Class Settings
Tap Connect Socrative Room
A message will show explaining what connecting your two accounts will do:
Tap Choose a Room
Select the room you'd like to connect (note that you cannot choose your default room)
Once selected, a confirmation message will show:
The room name will also show to confirm that you've selected the correct room. Tap Connect Room and you're all set! Go to any Shared Items list to start adding quizzes!
Keep in mind, once you connect your room to Showbie, the room in Socrative will turn into a rostered room and students in the Showbie class will be set as the roster in the Socrative room. This said, only one Socrative room can be connected per each class in Showbie.
Using Socrative in a Class with Co-Teachers
Showbie allows co-teachers to launch quizzes from Socrative; however, this connection relies on the teacher account that connected their Socrative room to the Showbie class. Please keep in mind these current limitations as we continue to improve the integration:
Only one Socrative Room can be connected to each class in Showbie. This means that only one teacher in the class will be able to choose the room in Socrative that is connected.
Only quizzes from the connected teacher's Socrative library are selectable. Co-teachers can launch quizzes, but will need to choose from the library of quizzes available in the teachers account that owns the connected Socrative room. Using Socrative's Shared Libraries is a great way to share resources and ensure the right quiz is available to be launched!
If the co-teacher with the connected Socrative Room leaves the class or school, their room will need to be disconnected from the Showbie Class. Once they disconnect, any active co-teacher in the class will be able to connect their Socrative Room.
