My Web 2.0 tool is Showbie!
Showbie is like an online classroom that you can use either on a computer, laptop, or an iPad!

In order to establish an account for Showbie, you need to do the following:
- Go to the website
- Click "Sign up free"
- Click "I'm a Teacher"
- Type in the information needed. (Don't worry about the promo code thing).
- You've now made a Showbie account!
Showbie does include a free version and a paid version. Listed below are the differences between the two.
Showbie does require parent permission in order for a student to be able to make a student account.
I could use this tool in my site school classroom, by giving my students certain math worksheets or reading assignments that have to be due by a certain date, and they would work on it, and then turn it in. It's that easy.
If I could use Showbie in any of my classes, I would definitely use it in U.S. History, so that when my teacher wants to give us assignments that can be done over a couple of days, I could work on it at my own pace, and then turn it in through the app or website.
In my thoughts, I think the best subject that would be fit for Showbie, would probably be History or English.
I honestly can see my mentor teacher using this in her classroom, because she is very tech savvy with our student's, and they are very hands-on with the technology that we already have in our classrooms.
