Formation+of+letters

=I was talking to a junior teacher today about ShowMe and all the things she could do with it in Maths. She started thinking about how she could use it for letter formation practice. She lets the students practise on the Whiteboard but if she is not standing over them at the time, she doesn't see whether they are forming them correctly.= =Some of the following 'Whiteboard' apps are ideal for students to practice their letter formation as they can record what they are doing and the teacher can view it later.= = = = = =**ShowMe** (Free for the iPad)= =**Account**: You need to set up an account to save recordings.

Students can record what they are doing and then playback to you without saving.=
