Show Me



One of my FAVORITE apps that I have found is the Show Me app. It has loads of potential and can be used for any subject. This is free app and you can use it to focus on productivity rather than playing.

The kids use this app to:
- Write Sentences
- Write Stories
- Practice Spelling Words
- Practice Words to Know
- Math Story Problems
- Math Equations
- Science Notebooks
- Story Telling
- Drawing

You will  need to create a free account using an e-mail address. To use Show Me log in using your e-mail address and password. You then tap the green plus sign to start a new show me. Tap the record button and start recording. Once you have finished tap done and save. You will then be prompted to name the video, select a subject and upload it. If you do not what to upload it you can tap skip.

Once videos have been uploaded you can go online and log in using the same information. You can then watch all videos and even share them by e-mail, download, or on a blog. I included an example of a students work below.

Show Me tends to get updated and change often so be aware. You may need to re-teach the kids once in awhile. I have found that the kids LOVE this app and sharing their work. They know how to log in on their own and upload on their own as well (I changed my log in in the settings menu to make it easier for them to type).
