Giving students an opportunity to express themselves and letting them free their creativity is fundamental for an effective learning process. Students often acquire knowledge in a better way while explaining the topic or working on a group project. Educational technology to help!

An awesome way to fulfill all of the above is to use an interactive whiteboard. Students are able to create their own video tutorials, voiceover their explanations and cooperate with each other!

The ShowMe app makes sure that teachers can seamlessly invite their students to use the app.

Creating students accounts is possible from the website and directly through the app. Check out the tutorial below and invite your students to use ShowMe!
