Edmonton, Canada / Bristol, UK – Showbie is an app that makes the paperless classroom a reality, making it easy for teachers to assign, collect and review student work in tablet classrooms. Nothing says paperless classroom better than an ebook – and so Showbie have teamed up with the developers of the best-selling Book Creator app to create a more seamless workflow between the two apps.
With Showbie v1.5.2 you can easily export the books you make in Book Creator to Showbie using the new share function in iOS 8. What’s more you can now read your ebooks right in Showbie, meaning teachers can easily read and assess their student’s work without needing to switch apps.
Kristi Meeuwse, Apple Distinguished Educator and Kindergarten Teacher in Charleston, SC said: “The best of two worlds come together as users are now able to read their Book Creator books within Showbie! This will facilitate workflow and allow flexibility for students like never before. I am excited about this latest update and can’t wait to try it with my kindergarten students!”
Colin Bramm, CEO of Showbie said: “Our mission is to empower teachers and students with tools for creativity in the paperless classroom. Book Creator has emerged as one of the best and most widely used apps for documenting the learning journey in the paperless classroom. We’re thrilled to make it seamless for students and teachers to use Book Creator and Showbie together with this latest update!”
Red Jumper Studio’s Dan Amos, the developer of Book Creator said: “Equipping students with the tools to create and share their books is our passion, and with this update to Showbie teachers now have a fantastic new way of sharing and reading ebooks in the K-12 classroom.”
