Teachers! If you're using iPads in the classroom and have not checked out Showbie: CHECK IT OUT! Not only can you easily upload documents to make your classroom paperless in an easy/seamless way, but you can add videos to help Flip your class. I just added 7 videos for the 7 steps of my art project and my students can watch them on demand. I can have students move forward at THEIR pace. While I'm teaching some students through the videos (yes it is a little weird hearing my voice around the room) I can continue to filter around and help those who are struggling or need the extra encouragement. The videos can be watched and re-watched and paused so my students can follow along if they need to. This is huge for students who struggle with multi-step directions!!! My top favorite things about Showbie: *Class is paperless for all the worksheets/instructions: bye-bye the sprints to the copier as well as the "I know I turned that into to you already" *I can grade so much faster because all my comments can use the microphone on the iPad keyboard and I can talk to type. Students also read my comments more often, something about the power of technology vs. hand written. *Students can submit work without downloading the worksheets and can submit them instantly. Students open the worksheet, use the text box, comment button, or draw directly on the document with the pen tool, hit done and I get their document back. *Slide presentations and VIDEO demos in a folder to help support the lesson- students can go back through the presentation if the missed something or when an absent student comes back they have the presentation available. *Students can submit photos, comments and videos so easily! *Their work can be placed in a portfolio within their account. *Parents can be given full access to view all or part of what you place for their child's account *The Showbie team rocks and are so helpful. GO TRY THE FREE VERSION. I HAVE NO REGRETS IN PURCHASING THE PRO VERSION: WORTH EVERY PENNY

This is the answer for allowing students to show me their work without papers I could misplace. I needed to have a way for students to write over PDFs I created and this is it! Thanks, Showbie developers! Your app is priceless. :-)

Because there is a big push to reduce paper usage in my district, I decided to give Showbie a try. My students and I find it easy to use. I love having all the papers at my fingertips without hauling papers home. It is easy for the kids to receive quick feedback from me. I love using it!
We LOVE Showbie!
SVF School
Our school loves showbie! It's easy to use and the students think it's cool! No more running to the copy room, waiting for documents to print. No more stacks of paper to carry around and grade. It ornagizes your classrooms and projects, and allows you to grade and give feedback on everything you post and assign. Just give it a try and I bet you never go back to paper again. Unless students need to cut something out ?
It doesn't give me an option to annotate!

I can't write on my work via iPhone but I can in my iPad class...very inconvenient if the whole purpose is to be paperless. I now have to print out the assignment and turn in it smh

Finally, my school is Punahou School, located in Punahou Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, Earth, Space. My school is the greatest school in USA!! Go Pun! ??????????????????????????
Need a feature back
Great Speller
Love, love Showbie...use it pretty much every day. I'd like to see the feature back where I can change the name of the document in the students' work folders. I can still change it in my shared folders, but not the individuals.
