Show Me, is an online learning community for students of all ages.
On Show Me you can also create your own lessons...not just watch.
This makes Show Me a very powerful educational tool. You can search Show
Me by topic
and subject or you can create
your own videos or assign one from the community for students to view.
Once you have created something on Show Me you can share it with the world or
keep it personal. Sharing is made easy with the use of the embed code for
websites.Creating an account on Show Me is
free and will have you up and running in seconds.
On the website there is also a link to their blog called the Show Me Voice which has some great information for teachers looking to integrate Show Me into their classroom. Using Show Me, teachers and students have the ability to both teach and learn from the community of videos. Used as a student directed activity, Show Me empowers students to think about a topic and how it should be presented. As educators, we know that the highest level of understanding is achieved when a student knows the material well enough to teach it. Show me give students that opportunity through the use of technology.
