Showbie

Principal function(s): Whole classTeacherStudentYou SupplyCourse management

Showbie is an educational platform that facilitates communication between teachers and students. It functions as a digital workspace where teachers can assign tasks, share resources, provide feedback, and assess student work, while students can submit assignments, collaborate on projects, and engage with course materials. Showbie offers a free limited version and requires creating an account for use. Evaluation: Showbie is a handy tool for managing a course, facilitating classroom workflows and allowing better communication. With the same account, it is possible to create and manage an unlimited number of different classes. However, some advanced features are only available for premium plans, such as having a student portfolio or granting parents access.

Cost: Free with registration for the basic version (without student portfolio or access for parents) + paid options available.
