Show Me
Cost: free!
Pros: Show Me is an app specifically intended for educational purposes. It serves as a white board, you can write and draw and erase on it. You can also upload pictures to write and draw on them. The unique part is that you can record a video of your whiteboard, as you write, draw and add pictures. Basically you can redord a mini lesson. Once you have created a video, you can upload it and share with the Show Me community. If you would prefer, you can keep your video private. You can also access other people's videos that have been uploaded and search based on topics. Videos can be sent in a URL or accessed on the show me app.
Cons: This app is connected to the Internet, so in order for students to access the videos at home, they must have access to Internet. Many reviews request that they make an update that allows show me videos to be connected to Dropbox
In education: This would be a great app to use in the flipped classroom model. You could create a video for your students to view at home that details the content for the lesson. And then when the students arrive at school, already having viewed the content, they can ask questions, explore, and practice at their own pace and with the teacher's advising.
