Showbie+by+Wain-Weiss+(Wsquared)



Overview -Using Showbie on a tablet allows students to turn-in pictures, video, podcasts, presentations and other work from hundreds of apps into their Showbie online assignment folder that you created. You as a teacher use the app to easily review students’ work and provide rich feedback with document mark up annotations and voice notes. Showbie unlocks the creative potential of the tablet to engage students in learning. media type="prezi" key="8nntt4zb5imc" width="550" height="400"

=Here's the presentation about how I use Showbie, taking you through what I have done to create classes for this year, assigning homework quizzes and projects, collect student work, and reviewing, or grading it. This is a Jing, so I hope you enjoy the presentation and want to use Showbie. =

__//**Using Showbie as a collaboration tool**//__ - this is from __**Scoop it**__ "I have been using Showbie for quite a while, both at my school and with the schools I support. It has certainly solved the problem of how students can quickly send their work to the teacher and the teacher share resources with the pupils. We have used it a lot and we like how it can be accessed online on devices other than the iPad. It also works well for assessment and archiving work. The class codes can be given to the headteacher so he/she can see all pupil portfolios, making it good to show parents and inspectors. Each pupil has their own login in normal use. However, some of what we do at school is collaborative. For example, a group of Year 6 pupils can each be working on a short video which could then be stitched together in iMovie etc. It is not possible to for one pupil to send a file to another using Showbie so we have created group logins. This means that a group of pupils would all log in using the same username and password. Each student can then submit a file to an assignment and the other pupils see and download that file onto their iPads. Importantly the teacher can also see whole groups work and each part of it. There are many collaborative tools on the iPad but as many schools are using Showbie then this may create another possibility."

__Pedagogical considerations for this technology__
The Showbie app allows teachers to assign, collect and review student work in real time, that is as it is happening. This is a type of formative assessment where teachers are informed of student progress and can respond to close the learning gaps. Showbie allows the feedback loop (traditionally, collecting assignments, marking them up and then handing them back at a later date) to be more spontaneous and personable. It allows feedback to take place before the next class meeting. Students can already be active at resubmitting or obtaining help through additional resources. A 1:1 environment can shorten the feedback loop allowing for remediation to take place immediately and more effectively. Using the Showbie app on a tablet can accomplish this. Shortening the feedback loop can also help to build toward learning goals. ([] and []). In addition to shortened feedback loop and closing learning gaps, Showbie uses numerous apps so students can become creative in the use of technology when submitting work. This also gives the student freedom to use the app they feel more comfortable using or meets their needs. The application of the Showbie app is far reaching and teachers can be creative with it too.
