Show Me iPad App

A few weeks ago, I attended Padcamp. (You can read more about that here.) One of the apps that I learned about was ShowMe. This is a FREE app that allows you to create little videos of whatever you write/say on a whiteboard. I can't believe this app is free.

Here are a few of the applications I could see with this application:

• Assessment: Have students explain their methods as they solve a math problem.
• Assessment: Have students explain the relationship between two concepts as they draw a graphic organizer representing the relationship.
• Instruction: Create short videos for your students to review as support.
• Practice: Have students create their own instructional videos that can be used with peers or younger classmates.

We have a few iPads in our district that are specifically used with our special education population. I think this app could be very beneficial in these classrooms!
