ShowMe is an app that allows students to make videos, share their videos, and follow and view videos that others have made. I enjoy using it as a quick assessment tool to see if my students truly understand the concept we were working on that day in class. It is an easy way to do a quick formative assessment and I can watch it from anywhere. ||= <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Applying

I import my class names, positive and negative behaviors according to our school, and then I am able to award points based on their behaviors. Parents are also able to track their child's behaviors with a simple code. I've also enjoyed watching to see how my students do in their specialists, because they too, are able to upload a class and track behaviors. ||= <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Evaluating ||

Using this website, my students are able to login, access and complete their work, and then upload it back into the website.

I enjoy using it to create presentations for everything in my classroom, and also for creating presentations for technology workshops outside of my classroom. My students even enjoy when they get to create a presentation with it, and now that more than one person can collaborate at a time on a presentation, it makes things even more engaging. ||= <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Creating ||

For my students, it is a source to find information that we have covered in class if they need to review it at home, or if their parents have a question about how to complete an assignment. For myself, I enjoy finding information that others have created and I also like that I can subscribe to some of the ones I like to view often. ||= <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Understanding
