Showbie - Collect, review & annotate student work

I really love using this app and love no longer making 100's of photocopies a month! What a save of money and trees!

I love this app because I can quickly and easily distribute math assignments to my algebra 1 and geometry students. I generally give them the choice of doing their work directly in showbie using the pen tool or doing it on paper and taking a picture of their assignment to attach and submit to me. The part that my students and I love is that there is not a complicated 'submit' process. They simply click 'done' to save their work and the file automatically updates on my end. I can give students participation points based on how much they were able accomplish in any given amount of time if needed and they can continue to work and correct their mistakes as well. Basically I love everything about this app!!

I have used this app for 2 years. Always loved it and had great things to say until recently. The app gave the teacher the ability to lock assignments and the ability to copy assignments to multiple classes in the free version. Just this month they have taken those away from the free users and made them premium tools only. So if you plan to use this app be careful because they might take free things away!

This app has completely changed how I can deliver content to my students in grades 4 & 5. No more having to run to the copier, wait in line and devour a ream of paper! With Showbie I can upload all the documents I would usually print and hand out to students, but they are delivered immediately to each student’s folder. Even better: I can modify assignments as needed, and give written or audio feedback in a flash. Comments, reminders, clarification, rubrics and more can all be shared instantaneously with students (and their parents). Students can have access to their entire class ‘folder’ through Showbie whenever they need to. No more lost papers, and time stamps on all files makes it easy to see when work was submitted. I recommend this to colleagues in my district all the time, as it’s become a huge time saver and a real convenience for us!

Ready to eliminate lost assignments, last-minute trips to the copier, increase student engagement, give and receive immediate feedback, and allow your students to share their knowledge in a variety of ways? Then this app is for you! Remarkably easy to use, incredibly versatile, and a must have for anyone delivering instruction via iPad. My 5th grade class is on year 2 of going paperless with Showbie. We had NO lost assignments last year. Everyone turned in everything via Showbie. Formative assessments are a breeze and feedback for extensions and reteaching happens within minutes of students submitting their work. My students love it. Kids who miss school can access work at home via the app and the website. You just can't lose with this app.
