It is very easy to switch between classes and helps you to be organized. It also provides notifications inside the app if anyone messages me about anything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Showbie is a very simple app. They should add more interesting designs and animations that would attract more people Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Showbie is an excellent tool to make sure that students know when to complete their assignments during the designated time limit. It allows them to stay punctual with their assignments and remain focused with the current subject at hand. Showbie gives out notifications at different times of the day to remind you of an upcoming assignment due date, these can be customized to the student's liking. I can send out assignments and let Showbie do all of the announcing for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A great addition would be the ability to attach certain images or documents to the assignment created. It would make things much smoother as I do not have to create or find links for the resources needed to complete the work assigned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
-The online version and the app are basically identical, so students don't have any trouble switching back and forth. This makes it easy for students to complete smaller tasks at home, even without a tablet.
-Evaluate student work right in the app (online or device) for instant feedback, and you can even assign a grade.
-Use the assignment folders to easily organize your classroom work into "project" or "unit" folders.
-The Shared Folder inside each assignment folder is a fantastic way to send files to all students at once (PDF, .mov, .jpg, etc.).
-Parents are able to access students' accounts, and with the way the folders are organized, Showbie can be used as a "portfolio" to demonstrate student learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't use the pen/markup tool in the online version. That's it...everything else is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a very easy to use platform, our students start using it at the age of 5. Teachers can post links, exercises, PDFs, etc in folders and add submit dates. Assignments can be closed until a certain day. Students can upload all their work, which the teacher can they copy to the shared folder.
Both our teachers and students love the annotation function and the voice notes. It is used daily by all our teachers and students.
It is now also possible to change the order of assignments, which is a very big advantage.
We use Showbie (and also the class discussion) for Flipped Classroom and Blended Learning.
The support is amazing and very quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I dislike. We wanted to be able to change the order of the assignments, and Showbie listened to us and added that feature. I feel the creators really listen to what we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Showbie has revolutionized the way I collect and assess work, in particular oral assessments (I am a modern language teacher). Showbie's seamless integration of an enormous variety of file types (including recordable or upload-able audio files!) make conversation assessment a breeze!
In addition to the audio capabilities, Showbie is quick and light which makes it a perfect app for collecting daily assignments. Providing feedback to students directly on the assignment is super easy and so fast! Tons of teachers at my school use Showbie now and all of us love it!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not paying for it personally but if I had to I would need to budget for it since it's best features are not free (however the free version is still great!). There are a few minor technical functions that are not yet available on Showbie (ie., copy multiple assignments into other classes) but their tech team is SUPER responsive and will consider any function that you suggest!

Showbie allows me to share video easily! I am a keen advocate of the flipped classroom model and needed a platform that would allow me to share videos and organise them into subfolders matching my lesson titles. The deadlines I could set and the option of when to make a folder visible to my students meant I could plan ahead and make my flipped videos well in advance. I simply saved them to Showbie knowing they would go live at the right time for my students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Students can reach me via Showbie whenever they need support. I have had to set firm boundaries in class so they know they will not get an immediate response and should plan their work in advance so they aren’t messaging me via Showbie the night before their work is due!

It is easy to use, effective, efficient and reliable.
I cannot praise the Showbie team enough for connecting with their customers, listening to our ideas and updating Showbie with new features whenever possible.
I love that I can use Showbie for every lesson in my classroom, for storing/sharing documents as a Senior Leader and as a communication tool with the parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing! It may seem expensive to have the Pro version but the uses are endless and therefore the cost:benefit ratio makes it worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that Showbie is a simple to use tool. It has a clean and efficient look that allows for easy accessibility for all students. Showbie is a great tool for students to submit work paperlessly and allows for teachers to give quick and timely feedback on assignments. Showbie also allows for editing of work and app smashing!

Nothing! There is absolutely nothing I dislike about this tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Showbie is my go to for sending, receiving and annotating work. The app is incredibly smooth and very steady and the students and staff in school can use it intuitively without any problems. I have always found the support staff receptive and keen to hear our the product could be improved further. If I could only have one app this would probably be it!

At the minute I’m incredibly happy the only drawback was rectified in the last update which allowed posts to be rearranged. Now looking forward to a highlighting tool (hopefully!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use for younger students in 1st grade and above; excellent way to share assignments, documents, videos, links, and pictures with students in the classroom; Super easy for students to share their completed assignments and get quick feedback from the teacher; the free version provides SO many of the necessary features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I dislike about Showbie. It's a great app and they are always making improvements and getting teacher input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
