and reflect on the learning process itself to improve learning outcomes.
4a

RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.
You can access Show me in two diverse ways. You can turn your iPad into a personal interactive whiteboard by using the Show
me app or you can go to the direct website and create and view thousands or screencasts made by others in every content area.
I think this resource can be used by both the teacher and the students. The first time around I would like to use it myself as the
instructor to show students how easy Show me is to use. It is a new and fun way of creating a presentation or it can also be used
as a personal smart board.

Value-Added Explanation: 3
I strongly believe that this app transforms student learning into a fun and new way that keeps students engaged and wanting
more. It also does align with several different subjects such as math and English all in one. The use of the white board is essential
for math and can help a teacher monitor his or her students understanding of how to solve problems individually. It makes the
lesson fun and interesting because instead of writing it on your own paper or up on the classroom board for everyone to see,
students can customize their strategies of problem solving. For English teachers, this tool is a great way of creating individual
presentations. It creates a new way of completing book reports.

Vallue-added explanation: Rate 1
Although Classcraft is a great resource to motivate students to stay on track while participating in group projects, it does not
necessary align with ISTE-S Standards. This can be used as a tool to maintain motivation and class management.
