"If you use iPads/computers in your classroom, then why aren't you using Showbie?"
What do you like best about Showbie?

-The online version and the app are basically identical, so students don't have any trouble switching back and forth. This makes it easy for students to complete smaller tasks at home, even without a tablet.

-Evaluate student work right in the app (online or device) for instant feedback, and you can even assign a grade.

-Use the assignment folders to easily organize your classroom work into "project" or "unit" folders.

-The Shared Folder inside each assignment folder is a fantastic way to send files to all students at once (PDF, .mov, .jpg, etc.).

-Parents are able to access students' accounts, and with the way the folders are organized, Showbie can be used as a "portfolio" to demonstrate student learning.

What do you dislike about Showbie?

I can't use the pen/markup tool in the online version. That's it...everything else is amazing.

Recommendations to others considering Showbie:

Get the Pro version. It is 100% worth it. If you don't, you won't be able to get the most out of Showbie (upload limits, and restrictions on the number of assignments/classes/folders, etc.)

What problems is Showbie solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have started using Showbie groups and other features to collaborate with colleagues both in my building and outside of my building. We can have discussions, and share resources with one another. I have also started using Showbie to collaborate on projects between classrooms in the building.

"Revolutionized my assessments!"
What do you like best about Showbie?

Showbie has revolutionized the way I collect and assess work, in particular oral assessments (I am a modern language teacher). Showbie's seamless integration of an enormous variety of file types (including recordable or upload-able audio files!) make conversation assessment a breeze!

In addition to the audio capabilities, Showbie is quick and light which makes it a perfect app for collecting daily assignments. Providing feedback to students directly on the assignment is super easy and so fast! Tons of teachers at my school use Showbie now and all of us love it!!

What do you dislike about Showbie?

I'm not paying for it personally but if I had to I would need to budget for it since it's best features are not free (however the free version is still great!). There are a few minor technical functions that are not yet available on Showbie (ie., copy multiple assignments into other classes) but their tech team is SUPER responsive and will consider any function that you suggest!

Recommendations to others considering Showbie:

Try the free version! You'll LOVE it!!

What problems is Showbie solving and how is that benefiting you?

Showbie provides an easy and fast way to collect daily assignments from students that otherwise would clog up my inbox or become a massive stack of papers on my desk. It has given me back tons of class time since now I don't have to spend class time listening to individual oral assessments - we can do them all at the same time and record to Showbie so I can listen and assess later!

"Very easy to use platform for sharing with students and colleagues"
What do you like best about Showbie?

It is a very easy to use platform, our students start using it at the age of 5. Teachers can post links, exercises, PDFs, etc in folders and add submit dates. Assignments can be closed until a certain day. Students can upload all their work, which the teacher can they copy to the shared folder.

Both our teachers and students love the annotation function and the voice notes. It is used daily by all our teachers and students.

It is now also possible to change the order of assignments, which is a very big advantage.

We use Showbie (and also the class discussion) for Flipped Classroom and Blended Learning.

The support is amazing and very quick.

What do you dislike about Showbie?

There is nothing I dislike. We wanted to be able to change the order of the assignments, and Showbie listened to us and added that feature. I feel the creators really listen to what we want.

Recommendations to others considering Showbie:

If you are a school, GO FOR IT! It is absolutely the best and easiest solution.

What problems is Showbie solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is the basis of the 1:1 iPad programme at our school. All students use it to upload their work and the teachers use it to share resources.
