Quest to Paperless Classroom
MR. Ab Watkins
iPad has been a powerful tool for taking in and producing information for my kiddos. Showbie has helped me close the loop on my paperless classroom by allowing my kids to submit work created on iPad to a central place that I can now access from my 1 iPad (instead of pecking around in each little iPad or dealing with a stampede of airdropped files). The added bonus is that when I post, grade, and leave comments on their assignments, parents can see if from home! I wish the app supported Pages/Word uploads so that I could work with students via Tracked Changes. Maybe in the future. Also, making sign in easier for multiple users would be so clutch! (Ahem, useful).
What An App!!
MathTeacherinNeed
I have been trying to find apps that will make my classroom more and more technology literate. We have had eBooks for the last 4 years and I have been trying to encourage my students (7th - 11th grade) to do more and more of their work with technology. ShowBie is perfect because my students can work on their math together on an iPad and then submit for grading (which can be easily done on the app). They are beginning to submit homework through ShowBie as well, and we are having so much fun figuring out all the different things for which we can use ShowBie. I am so excited to get my fellow teachers on board with this app. It has such potential for school wide use.
Love Showbie

Very easy to use and the kids love it. Showbie keeps them engaged and helps them retain info with the hands on learning.
Best Education App!!
Sixfalls
Along with Notability, this is the best education app ever! I've been trying to create something like this using Google Drive and a Chrome add-on. This is simple, elegant, and it just plain works. I can't say enough about it. I liked it so much I went Pro. Small price to pay for an app that allows me to have a truly paperless classroom.If you use iPads and want a simple way to grade students work while using your time effectively, this is your app! I decided not to download last year because the name seemed childish, boy was I wrong.

The good: great for a paperless classroom, when it works properly. The bad: must pay for the year subscription to get all the good features. Can be hard to keep track of assignments, especially when using for multiple classes/students. Becomes frustrating when in the middle of grading errors out, saying "cannot connect to the Showbie server." This happens too frequently to not be frustrating.
Love this app!

This app is easy enough to use with 1st graders. My students can easily finish exit slips, tests and practice pages. I am able to grade these anywhere that I have my iPad. Love it and so do my students!
Essential app for the paperless classroom
Tyler LV
A great workflow app that helps transition towards a paperless classroom. Allows teachers to post assignments and resources, which students can then edit in Showbie or other apps. I love that Showbie let students edits and turn in PDF documents right within the app. The new greeting features allow the teacher to quickly check the same page I'm PDFs for each student in the class and give valuable feedback.
Perfect for Primary Sources
MsUlmerSocialStudies
Teaching Social Studies in a 1:1 iPad district and having ditched textbooks long ago, I searched for something that let me easily give feedback to students as they analyzed primary and secondary sources. Other teachers suggested email assignments, but it drove me crazy to have my email full all the time (even while using filters to send those assignments to folders…). I used a variety of LMS’s, and eventually stumbled upon Showbie. For the past 2 years, Showbie has been a go-to for grading writing, map analysis, etc. It allows me to give immediate feedback in written form as well as voice notes! I cannot recommend this enough.
A very useful tool for my classroom

I work in a district where each middle school student is given an iPad. This app is perfect for my band and orchestra classes. Students are able to submit their goals and send recordings to me and receive feedback much quicker. I would give 5 stars if it didn't crash at home for students. - this may be a district problem though. Overall, a great app that helps me feel more connected to my students.
