Pros and Cons
Pros and Cons
My User Review
ShowMe
• Easy to use and learn
• Did not like that I could not
use text
• Difficult to write letters with
typical soft-point stylus
• I do like that I can download
and save on my hard drive
My User Review
Educreations
• Easy to use and manipulate
• I like the text and color options
• A little difficult to manipulate
image but more practice will
take care of that
• Unable to download or export
lessons, although embed tool
and links offset this
My User Review
• I prefer text capability to
assist with pictures.
• On the next slide you will see
the difference between
ShowMe and Educreations as
I used each to describe the
same gas law tutorial
My User Review
ShowMe

Educreations
Recommendation
• I believe for the demographic
I aim to serve (adult military
learners) that Educreations
edges out ShowMe for
tutorial creation/viewing
• This is based primarily on the
use of text as opposed to
writing words with a stylus
Recommendation
• I also prefer the fact that
Educreations can be made/used
on platforms other than iPad
(PC/Mac with Flash)
• Lastly, I prefer that with
Educreations teachers can
create courses for their students
to sign up for and view (based
on roster function)
