Math: Maximized with Show Me

Math teacher Ariel Weissman uses a combination of our LMS, Schoology, and an iPad app called ShowMe to clone herself! Well, not exactly...but close enough!  

Using this easy-to-use (and free) whiteboard-style app, this teacher records her voice (and her steps) for solving some of the toughest problems in her class (like this one on the Quadratic Formula, for example).  She then posts these videos to her class page within Schoology for her students to access.

"My students love it", Weissman remarked, "and it's great for review before their assessment".  While this Algebra II teacher says she has also used the app to record flipped lessons, she really likes ShowMe for review purposes and absentee students.  Using a stylus (or your finger) and an iPad, her colored-coded steps are outlined, explained and can be played over and over again.

Schoology is a great compliment to this - as students can easily access these embedded resources videos for future use!

Mrs. Kane has student's flipping out for science!

Middle school science teacher, Tara Kane, is breaking down the classroom walls and expanding thinking into student homes as she flips her classroom.  Lessons like this one, on Metric Conversions, are to watched at home for homework.  Then, the following day, Mrs. Kane allows her students to practice the concept while she is available to give one-on-one help and guidance.  While she doesn't flip all of her lessons, a concept like this one lends itself perfectly to this model of classroom practice. 

The homework assignment, which involves watching the supplementary video is usually accompanied by note-taking.  In class the following day, students have the opportunity to, "watch the video again as a refresher, if [the students] wish," Kane explains. 

Mrs. Kane went on to tell me that some of her videos are found on educational websites and others she creates herself. This one was created on her own in SMART Notebook, recording the screen with QuickTime and was posted on YouTube.com.
