 * WHAT: **ShowMe app for iPad

**Web Address:** [|www.ShowMe.com]

**Grades:** Applicable for All Grade Levels

**Abstract:** //ShowMe// is an interactive whiteboard app for the iPad that enables the user to pre-record lessons, incorporate images and of course, write on it in varying colors. After the conclusion of recording a lesson or sharing session, the user is also granted the ability to share this recording with others, via a personal //ShowMe// portfolio. It's from here where viewers can access this content, through the use of any platform that has internet access (computer, iPad, smart phone, etc.).

**Personal Experience:** I have three iPads in my classroom, and I've typically used //Educreations,// which is another interactive whiteboard app. I have used //Educreations// during my centers while I was working with small groups, whereas the other groups would watch a pre-recorded lesson in their centers that incorporated the app. With the //ShowMe// app, I could do the same thing with my students, but perhaps a little more. I'll have to look into it a bit further, but it's seemingly easier to share such lessons with colleagues, students, parents, etc. I'm looking forward to having this option with the //ShowMe// app. I think this could be a very useful tool in my kindergarten classroom, as it would be especially useful for practicing handwriting with an interactive component (letters, numbers, sight words or even their name).
