Show+Me

A perfect whiteboard tool for Showing What You Know. It is very similar to EduCreations. So far the only differences I see is EduCreations lets you type in text but Show Me lets you follow people, so if you are working as a team, you can always be in the loop of videos that have been made by your counterparts.

Why I LOVE this type of App: *levels the playing field for many students who love science but hate writing *opportunity to use speciic content area vocabulary without fear of mispelling *to many, the answer isn't simply A,B, or C and they want to tell you why *users highlight with the pen tool their area of focus to engage the listener and emphasize points

Here are two student created samples: **Australian Ocean Food Web:** This one combines a familiar approach to a student sharing their discoveries about a creature and it's environment and food chain. This classic lesson has been 21st Centrified since it was photographed and uploaded into Show Me where the student describes the food web. //To amp up this idea, you could: T//he student could show a food chain in one color and use a 2nd color to stress the impact of the the web. I also would challenge them to take it further by having them remove one item from their food chain and describe the consequences to that ecosystem. media type="custom" key="20425786" **Water Cycle:** This one uses an uploaded digital image that the student uses to describe the water cycle. He uses rich, appropriate vocabulary ("molecules bumping and bumping", "gases bumping and beginning to be visible as water droplets"). You can tell he is confident in his knowledge. media type="custom" key="20425804"
