Visual Presentations

I used the ShowMe Interactive Whiteboard app. There are different ways that it can be used. You can search on ShowMe for things that other people have posted. They are usually searched for by subject. This would be good for students because they would be able to look up lessons on things that they may be struggling with on their homework. Because ShowMe allows for images to be uploaded, the subjects are limitless. I personally would use it for a math or even science help videos. Teacher's of upper grades could create ShowMes to provide references for homework help. Images that are uploaded can even be practice worksheets that teachers can "write on" while explaining steps.

ShowMe is very simple to use like many other apps. One thing that I liked as I was creating a ShowMe was that what I drew on the "whiteboard" showed up pretty accurate. A concern I always have about apps like this one is if it is accurate enough for writing to be legible. I wrote some things very small and others larger, but the app stayed accurate. There is even an option to type on the screen. The recording of voice that goes along with ShowMes that are created is also very helpful. Students would not have to search youtube to learn how to solve a problem. I think that ShowMe would be more helpful for students because there is a lot crisper of an image on ShowMe than what one would get in a youtube video.
