Regardless of whether you buy into or are critical of the whole Kahn Academy concept, most people agree that providing on demand learning resources is a good idea. With the new ShowMe App, any teacher can become the next Sal Kahn making educational tutorials for your kids or for the world. Or you can do what math teacher Eric Marcos does on his terrific MathTrain.tv site and let kids be the movie makers.
What's nice about the ShowMe App is that they take care of all the details. Just open the App on your iPad and all the tools are built in and upload is a piece of cake.
Here's a video to ShowYou how it works.
