ShowMe Interactive Whiteboard

ShowMe, an interactive whiteboard app for the iPad, allows users to create voice-over tutorials that can be shared online. It has a simple interface with a writing tool, upload image function, and a record button. Captured videos are uploaded directly to ShowMe’s website, where users can set privacy options; share their videos via Facebook, Twitter, and email; or get embed code. (I created a demo, but the blog seems to be stripping the embed code).

This app could be used to create shorter lectures for student review or for a classroom flip, which moves the traditional lecture outside of class to free up time for activity-based learning in the classroom. It also is useful during office hours to address difficult concepts for students while creating a reusable learning object.

    This looks like a promising app for me. I just made a “screen shot” video using software called Camtasia, but I have some videos that I’d like to make with a writing tool. So thanks.

  2. I haven’t tried using this app. Looks good. I would use it for my short review of the lessons.
