iPad App Review

ShowMe (free) 


This is an app that can be used on the iPad or just online. This app is free. The app is used for creating videos. It can be used by teachers so they can create videos or lessons the students and parents can follow along with. It can also be used by the students to create their own videos. The students can create and post video they have made using pictures or drawing. This would be an awesome for an elementary school because it is very simple to use! The students can explore and create with little stress. 

NearPod (free)

This app is an interactive and student guided lesson that mirrors powerpoint . As the teacher I would create what I would like students to see and use and then post it on the app, which the students will then respond to accordingly.   In order to use this app as a student, students will have a pin number and they must log in under their assigned pin. Once on the app the students can read the lesson and respond by taking polls, quizzes, etc.  All presentations and quizzes and other materials put on this app are meant for students to be able to directly interact with.
