Associated Learning Standard(s): Showme can be used to enhance the lesson by using pictures with
verbal instruction so that students can look/listen in class or at home. This will facilitate and inspire
student learning, model digital age work and learning, and promote digital citizenship.

RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
This technology resource allows the students to take pictures of the lesson (WW2), then can record their
notes verbally by talking to their ipad, and can play it back with pictures to help reemphasize the lesson.
Also can be used by the teacher to record lectures that the students can listen to while looking at the
pictures whenever they want.

INTEGRATION IDEA - PRESENTATION

How might you use this resource in a lesson plan to promote students
presentation/speaking/communication skills?

Say the lesson was on the WW2. They can capture photos from that war and using their voice they can
explain what is happing in the pictures and play it to their classmates. This helps some of the shyness
that can limit communication skills because they can record their voice in private and play it back. Plus
the pictures they are showing takes away some of the pressure of just standing in front of the class and
speaking.
