Eased transition during Covid but pricey

After we were sent to virtual learning, teaching secondary math became harder. Videos on the web never hit exactly what and where I needed or where my students were at. ShowMe allowed me to record my lesson just like I was on my whiteboard and it allowed my students to hear my voice and me explain it. I quickly learned I needed the paid version to be able to upload easily for me and my students. It is definitely an app I’d love to keep using for the online portion of my classroom as long as I can afford it.

Had potential but too costly for teachers!

I was excited about this app even though there are some whiteboard apps that are easier to use and more powerful out there. I decided to start with this one because a teacher friend uses it. Unfortunately, unless you have $100 a year to spend on this, it is useless if you are trying to teach since there is no way to store what you create without paying them to do it for you. I misunderstood and assumed there was a way for me to store my presentations on my own device or on Drive, but since that is not possible it’s pretty much useless unless your school district pays for it for you. That’s too bad, because it’s the beginning of a wonderful idea and could be really helpful...especially during remote learning in the middle of the pandemic, but I can’t afford this and don’t know many teachers who can and that is particularly relevant in light of the fact that there are so many technical companies and app creators that are providing what we need for our students for free for right now.

Performance has gone downhill with time

Prior to the last couple of months, it has been a 5-star rating. I’ve been using this platform for making videos for 5 or 6 years, and have loved it for the ease of use and quick turn-around on processing. I pay for a premium account because of the many hours of content that I have. However, I have had SO MANY issues lately uploading and processing videos. (for example, today... I’m trying to upload a video and get the message “A server with the specified host name could not be found”. ) My students tell me regularly that they get messages “ video not found”... half the class can get it and the other half not. The money for this account certainly does not come from our district... it’s out of my own pocket. I’m going to have to consider a different platform if the service does not improve.

Online Tools for Teaching and Learning

Showme is a digital whiteboard app available on the iPad that allows users to draw and add voiceover narration. More than 65,000 schools are using Showme because it is a beneficial educational tool for all ages that allows students to demonstrate their knowledge in any subject, including math, science, social studies, English language arts, and art. The app is easy to use and has tutorials to guide users through the process. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, it has increased in popularity because of its teacher- and student-friendly nature and ability to be used in remote and online learning settings. Students can show and explain their work in an easy and fun way. They can also view video lessons that other teachers and users on ShowMe have created and posted. This app is a knowledge-centered tool because students can construct, mind map, and organize information that makes sense to them. It is also a learner-centered tool because it can foster personalized learning experiences and empower students’ thinking and learning. Because this app is user-friendly, not age restrictive, and can be used in a synchronous or asynchronous setting, teachers in elementary, middle, high school, and even higher education should consider using this app as a way of engaging and tracking student progress.

ShowMe pricing plans (image from: https://www.showme.com/pricing)

Type of Learning

Constructivism: The ShowMe app allows users to write and draw what they know and then speak over it to explain what they are doing. This follows a constructivist learning theory because users are building their knowledge through doing and explaining.

Social Constructivism: Users can post their ShowMe videos to a community page if desired, where other users can view what they did. Users can also access video lessons on countless topics for a variety of ages that other users have created and posted.

Social Learning: Sharing videos with the community of users help build others’ knowledge as well as individual knowledge. Students can create videos and share what they have learned or teachers can create mini-lessons and post them on ShowMe for other users to watch and use all over the world. The video lessons created can also be shared on social media or through email.

Ease of Use

The ShowMe app is user-friendly and, therefore earned a 4-star review. A 5-star review means the user can quickly learn how to use the app with ease, there are minimal instructions needed to understand the tool, and there are tutorials and FAQs available. And a 3-star rating means the user needs about 5-15 mins to get to know how to use the app through video tutorials, reading directions, and experimenting with features. This app falls right in between because the user can relatively quickly learn to navigate the app, but could benefit from watching a tutorial.

Right from the start, the user can click the “create” button that allows them to instantly start drawing on the whiteboard. Some specific features that are easy to use are the drawing tool (with many color options), typing tool, the uploading of an image or background button, the eraser, the undo button, and the record button. Everything is clearly labeled. Once the user draws on the whiteboard and records their voiceover explaining what they did, they can save the video as a draft or save and upload it to ShowMe. The user names the video and chooses what category the video topic falls under. When a video is posted, the user has a clear option if they want to post it publicly on the app or privately. There are also tutorials as well as a FAQ section if the user needs any assistance while navigating the app as well as on the Showme.com website.

Privacy

The ShowMe app receives a 1-star rating. A 1-star rating means the user needs to share personal information, which includes their name, email address, and location and has no control over how that information is being shared or used. The ShowMe app does not have any statements regarding a Coppa/Ferpa privacy policy. Nevertheless, it does have a section dedicated to protections against children. If a child is under 13 years old, the app collects the full name of the child, their username, password, email address, birthday, location, and parent's email address. If the child’s username is appropriate, ShowMe will display their username and videos publicly on the app. ShowMe asks for parent approval to register and collect additional information through the parent’s email. If this is approved, ShowMe will show the child’s city and state and the ShowMe videos they create. While this information is collected and used on the app, the child’s information is never shared with third parties. Parents can choose to cancel their child’s registration and all of the child’s information will be deleted. A classroom cannot use ShowMe without asking for parental consent or else ShowMe will delete all information on the students. Users 13 years and older provide additional information, including “name, email address, birthday, password, school affiliation, friend list, teacher’s name, location, photo, bio, and additional personal information” (Showme Privacy Policy, 2018). Users can opt-out of providing some of this information, but it might limit their full range of tools on the app. The app also collects information about IP addresses and ShowMe cookie information automatically. There is a statement claiming the personal information of users is not rented or sold to anybody. However, on the contrary, it then states how they do not control affiliated businesses and there are situations where businesses or third parties that ShowMe affiliates with will sell or provide services through ShowMe. They state that they have no control over what third parties do if the user allows for transmissions so the user should also review the third party privacy policies because they might differ from the ShowMe privacy policy. Users can access information in their user profile, connections list, preferences, and photographs and content. If at any time a user wants to opt out of sharing certain information, they can, however, it will most likely limit their ability to use certain tools in the app. All of this information is directly taken from Showme’s privacy policy linked here https://www. showme.com/privacy.

Accessibility

ShowMe app receives a 1-star rating for accessibility. A 3-star rating means the app has some accessibility features but is not accessible to everyone. And a 1-star rating means the tool lacks any sort of accessibility features and does not integrate with any assistive technology. This app falls right in between. The app does not offer an accessibility statement which makes this rating on the more difficult side because it does not clearly state what it is doing to be accessible to users. If a user wants to create their own ShowMe video, the app is accessible to those who can use their fingers or apple pencil/stylus to write on an Ipad. Another not fully accessible feature of this app is that closed captioning is only available to users who have the premium and premium classroom versions of the app. Users who have the premium version can view 100 minutes of videos with closed captions and users with premium classrooms have access to 1,000 minutes of closed captioning on videos. Therefore, users who are accessing ShowMe for free cannot add closed captioning to their videos, so it does not support every user and their needs. There also should not be a time limit on closed captioning because it limits all users. And since closed captioning is so limited, there is no option to have closed captioning in languages besides English. When the ShowMe website is put through an online accessibility checker, Wave (Web accessibility evaluation tool), it had a total of 12 errors, specifically 47 contrast errors, 78 total alerts, and 10 good features. When a video is selected from the Showme website and put through the same accessibility checker, it had a total of 23 errors because the video does not include alternative text, the images linked do not have subtitles, there are no language alternatives, and the text used is small and has poor contrast against the background color.

Class Size

There is a pricing plan called “Premium Classroom,’’ which costs $12. 49 a month. With this premium plan, teachers can have any size class of premium users who can upload and draft as many videos as they want. There is no specific information about the class size limit for other plans.

Login

When creating an account and logging into Showme.com, there are a few options for users. Users can sign in with Google, as well as Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Clever, or Office 365. If the user does not want to sign in with any third-party account, they can create an account by putting in their first and last name, email, password, and birthday. If a teacher is using the app with the premium classroom account, then they can invite students to join the class. Student accounts include the student’s first and last name as well as stating if they are under 13 years old or not. Teachers can view all of their student accounts and have access to the students' first and last names, usernames, passwords, and if they are under 13 years old.

ISTE Standards

Empowered Learner: In this standard, students, “customize their learning environments in ways that support the learning process.” ShowMe aligns with this standard because users can draw on the app in a way that makes sense to them and then record what they did over the video to support their learning.

Innovative Designer: In this standard, students "use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.” ShowMe aligns with this standard because users can use the app to work throughout a design process (especially to create prototypes, storyboards, and mindmaps) as they solve real-world problems and voiceover what they are doing. They can also create new, useful, or imaginative solutions.

Creative Communicator: In this standard, students "create original works or responsibly repurpose or remix digital resources into new creations. ” ShowMe aligns with this standard because students can create their media or upload media and draw or add text over it to customize it.

Showme & the SAMR Model

Dr. Ruben Puentedura’s SAMR model is a 4 level template that teachers can use when reflecting up on how to integrate technology into their lessons. The 4 levels are: substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition.

Here is an example of how Showme might fit within the SAMR model:

Substitution: Users use Showme to draw and write on a digital whiteboard rather than on a physical whiteboard.
Augmentation: In addition to writing and drawing on the digital whiteboard, users can upload images and PowerPoint presentations to annotate with text.
Modification: Users can add voice recordings to narrate what they write and draw on the digital whiteboard.
Redefinition: Users can share their video lessons to a public page on ShowMe to teach others around the world about what they have learned and created.

Technology is beneficial in the classroom when it goes beyond the substitution and augmentation sections of the SAMR model, but rather incorporates modification and redefinition to enhance student learning beyond what was previously able to do in the classroom.

Learning Activities

Math

Elementary school level: Students can solve math problems by being given a prompt and recording how they think through the process of solving it.

Science

Students can watch a ShowMe video on the life cycle of a frog. Then, create their own ShowMe video by drawing and labeling the life cycle of a frog with a voice recording to show how they are thinking through what they are doing.

English/Language Arts

Students can create a story using the ShowMe app. They can draw a story mountain that includes the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Add a voice recording to explain each point.

Geography

Students can add a picture of a map to the background of the Showme video. Then highlight 3 main geographical features (ex. Mountain ranges, bodies of water, major roadways). Explain one significant fact for each of the main geographical features.

World Languages

Students can draw a picture of something that happens in school (e.g., Eating lunch in the cafeteria, taking a test, studying with a friend) and write a few sentences in a foreign language below it explaining what they drew. Then add a voice-over reading the sentences you wrote that describe the scene you created.

Research

These two research articles reference studies on digital whiteboards and how apps can increase student interest, productivity, and learning as a whole. The upgrade from a normal whiteboard to a digital one does positively impact student learning and keeps them motivated and demonstrates their knowledge in ways that make sense to them specifically.

Show me your portfolio! | Ukhta State Technical University

From February 5 to February 8, Ukhta University is conducting a cross-check of students' performance results for the autumn semester, included in the index-rating system (IRS) of USTU. Upon completion of the audit, winners of increased scholarships in the field of study, science, culture, social and sports activities will be determined.

IRS has been operating at Ukhta University since 2016 and is an electronic portfolio of students where their achievements are recorded, such as the publication of a scientific article, participation in a creative competition, sports victory, volunteering and other results of activity or scientific work. Each result has its own "weight" in the ranking, expressed in points.

If a ranking participant is found to have provided false evidence of their results, they will be excluded from the IRS and will not be eligible for an increased scholarship for a certain period. Inspectors also reject “documents” about “pseudo-achievements”: for example, participation in an online competition or a certificate that a student received for money.

In general, according to the observations of the department of teaching and educational work and leisure activities, in the last few years, USTU students have been actively participating in the IRS. Probably, they have become more informed, and the “older generation” of students, represented by representatives of student associations, explains to newcomers all the advantages of participating in the rating of achievements. Meetings for first-year students, which are held by Anatoly Chemezov, head of the Department for Educational Work and Social Affairs, also have a noticeable informational effect.

True, it is difficult for first-year students to “break through” and squeeze out those who have been publishing their results in the system for several semesters, and there are many active students at Ukhta University.

Nevertheless, every motivated person has a chance to receive an increased scholarship, and the university IRS is always glad to new participants:

systems,” recommends Polina Reitman, head of the department for educational work and leisure activities.

three effective strategies for a teacher designer

Any teacher designer wants his courses to make students' lives better. We strive to inspire, change attitudes and energize for high results. In short, we want our courses to always hit the bull's-eye.

And here is the problem: our students are adults. They have a store of knowledge and ideas about what works for them and what doesn't. They are very busy, live in a crazy rhythm and hate to waste time. Through training, they want to achieve their goals.

Therefore, the most important thing when creating any e-learning course is to take into account the peculiarities of adult learning.

What is adult learning theory?

'Adult learning theory' is the subject of much conversation in corporate learning. Do you know what it is?

Let's break the myth: there is no ONE theory of adult learning. There are several common theories, each of which reveals the topic in its own way.

Adult learning theories include andragogy, neuroscience, experiential (or experiential) learning, independent learning, and transformational learning. All theories have the same goal: they help create effective corporate learning processes for adults.

Why should an instructional designer know adult learning theories?

Adult learning theories are not just a collection of terms, concepts, and ideas about how adults learn. These theories help to competently build courses at all stages - from concept creation to implementation - so that learning is as effective as possible.

Here are four reasons why developers and educators MUST know adult learning theories:

To create courses that meet student needs.
To tailor learning strategies based on the actual learning context.
To use technologies that best fit learning strategies.
To apply strategies that take into account the modern characteristics of learning: digital technologies and student mobility.

Theory 1. Andragogy: emphasis on experience

The theory of andragogy is based on the characteristics of adult learners, as well as the idea that adults rely on their accumulated experience in the learning process.

The theory itself was developed by Malcolm Knowles in the 1970s. According to Knowles, there are six key differences between adult learners and children :

Need for knowledge. Adults need to know “why” they should learn.
Motivation. Adults are driven by internal motives. They learn when they want to learn. You will give an adult powerful intrinsic motivation if you convincingly answer the question “why do I need this?”.
Desire. In adults, the desire and willingness to learn appear when they realize the importance of knowledge. It is important for them to understand how training will help them change their lives for the better.
Foundation or experience. Adults have a wealth of experience behind them that defines their learning. They analyze, explain, combine and create new ideas or twist old ones through the filter of their own experience. As instructional designers, we must use this experience to help them make connections, understand the relevance of knowledge, and find inspiration.
Independence. Adults are independent and want to be responsible for their own learning. They are independent and like to have everything under control.
Attitude towards learning. Adults learn best by doing things. For them, problem-based learning is relevant, which they can apply in their work. As part of such training, their ability to solve problems is trained and, as a result, there is confidence that they can cope with any tasks with the help of new knowledge.

Theory 2: Transformative Learning: Gaining a Point of View and Generating Insights

Everyone has an insight. A sort of flash of inspiration that allows you to look at reality from a different angle. Grains of wisdom that change our attitudes in life. Deep insights that break through established beliefs and conventions.

All these are transformational processes that bring our consciousness to a new level. We should try to create such moments in training: they allow you to shake the mind, evoke strong emotions and leave unforgettable impressions. Often such moments are able to radically change the way of thinking, point of view, attitude to the issue and patterns of behavior - that is, launch those same “transformations”.

Transformational learning theory explains how adults learn through such insights. The theory is based on the view that learning occurs when new knowledge is superimposed on old experience or old ideas are viewed in a new light.

There are three stages in the theory of transformational learning:

Identification of a dilemma or crisis. This is the moment when we realize that all this time we have been holding a false opinion or not knowing something important. This usually pushes us to search for new information or rethink the system of thought. Realizing that we didn’t know something or were wrong about something is always a crisis that takes us out of our comfort zone. Pointing out to students what they don't know will fuel their curiosity to take your course.
Definition of personal gain. We are inspired to learn by personal gain - the answer to the eternal question: "What is my interest in this matter?" From the very beginning of the course, it is important to create and maintain the right context - personal, professional or social - that will pique student interest and keep them hooked. To motivate adults, give them the opportunity to imagine the future fruits of their labors.
Critical thinking. Your students are reasonable, rational people, they have their own head on their shoulders. Therefore, it is necessary to create moments of reflection so that they can reconsider their beliefs and views. Give people the opportunity to deal with their feelings and realize what needs to be worked on - then they will absorb knowledge with a much greater desire.

Theory 3. Experiential learning: real experience gives rise to understanding

The Chinese philosopher Confucius said: “Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, let me do it and I will understand. ”

No books will give such clear, deep knowledge that a person receives when he does something himself. Experiential learning theory argues that adult learning is about making sense of practical experience.

Adults learn best by doing things, not just memorizing numbers and definitions from books.

David A. Kolb identifies four stages in the experiential learning cycle:

Practical experience. Adults learn best outside the traditional classroom. As a result of practical training, a person gains a powerful experience that he will not forget. Examples include kinesthetic learning (learning through simulations that require physical action) as well as learning that elicits a strong emotional response (realistic scenarios that reveal causal relationships).
Reflective observation. Adults need to constantly replay and reflect on their own experiences - this allows us to learn lessons and gain knowledge.
