This app can be found in ITUNES. You can use ShowMe to implement the flipped classroom instructional strategy in your class, There are a host of video clips designed by different teachers on a wide range of topics. Teachers can use existing videos or create their own. Essentially, this software allows the teacher to write on a ‘white board’ and speak about what is being shown on the screen. It is easy to use and always available for viewing. Students can also create their response on a ‘showme’ page which helps ‘less social’ students interact. There is a free plan, which allows one group at a time, or premium for 4.16 a month which allows 300 hours of storage, unlimited groups as well as a school premium, unlimited plan. Videos can last as long as 15 minutes, but unclear if there is a maximum time limit.

In the classroom, ShowMe can be used in a variety of ways. Some ideas include the following:

Internet content - This program is good for online students as they can access a wide range of information. It could also be used in a hybrid system. This may not work well for higher education students who want to promote research.
Collaboration – Teachers can share lesson plans and advice with other teachers around the country.
Student engagement -This software Increases student engagement; Educators from over 55,000 schools use ShowMe to flip their classrooms.
Personalization - This software personalizes the learning experience as students can also respond to the teacher online.
