"If you use iPads/computers in your classroom, then why aren't you using Showbie?"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for your review, Jordan! In regards to the pen tool for our web app, I can tell you that our development team is hard at work to make this happen very soon. I will put you on the notification list once this feature is available.
