Ideas for classroom use:

Ideas for classroom use: Britt created a great ShowMe about different ways to use ShowMe. We’re huge fans of all the ideas in this one, so any teachers thinking about incorporating ShowMe into their classrooms should check this one out!




Daniel’s ShowMe is a great example of how ShowMe can be used to visually represent some concepts that are difficult to understand verbally. We love content like this. Way to go Daniel!





Robert put together an amazing ShowMe on why early civilizations formed along rivers. “Along rivers” is definitely one of the better ShowMe’s we’ve ever seen, so give it a watch if you have a minute!





Daniel goes through u-substitution in an extremely clear way. For any students or teachers of calculus having trouble with u-substitution, this ShowMe is definitely worth taking a look at!



Noam’s ShowMe on HTML basics is very informative. For novices looking to dip their toes in the shallow end of web-design, this ShowMe is a must-see. Thanks a lot, Noam!

Innovative education, it’s everywhere!

Reader’s workshop and assessment: Brette let me know that she sent home this type of ShowMe home to parents to let them know where their child was at with their reading level. For the student, this is such a valuable way to remember what they’ve been taught and also a great way to reflect. Awesome to see “chunking” on the ipad!



Writer’s workshop conferences: This is a great way to help students get feedback from their peers and build their portfolio of writing. I love the idea of students interacting with the iPad as a class and marking up the text.
