much better my classroom is. However, there is lots

specific students whose scores are great testimonies
to how this has helped them.”

7th Grade English- Fresno, TX

13. Student work
• Best way to Show you’ve learned something: Teach
it!
•Erin had students create ShowMes on English topics
to prepare for the STARR- a mandatory state test in
TX.
•Students wrote scripts on an assigned literary topic
before creating a ShowMe
Moment of pride when students can share their work
•
with friends and family outside of school!

15. Reinforcement of concepts
• Dana Hagan, Speech Pathologist in Deer
Park, LI works with students to create a
ShowMe about what they’ve been taught
• Students interact with iPad and take turns
speaking. They discuss facts, ideas or solve
problems.
• When finished, students re-watch the ShowMe
answering further questions from Dana.
• ShowMe is made available to them to watch during
class or at home.

16. Self regulation and Social Skills
• Deb Sites in Northfield, MN helped a student with emotional
needs create a ShowMe
• When the student was calm, he created a ShowMe
describing steps he can take to calm down when he
became stressed or angry. (Ex. Count backwards from 10,
chair push ups, deep breaths)
• From then on, every time the student needed to bring
himself back to a calm state, he accessed the ShowMe on
the iPad.
• Since it was his own voice, it took the adult out of the
situation and helped him work on his independence.

18. Assessments
•A classroom set of iPads are
all signed into one ShowMe
account.
•During class, while working
through problem sets or quizzes,

how well students understand concepts
or pinpoint where they begin to struggle.
