    Showbie, developed by Showbie Inc.[1], is educational software[2] that can be accessed via a website,[3] or iOS app.[4] It enables communication between teachers and students. It is designed in the style of a messaging app, with two-way communcation with teachers as well as a 'class discussion', where all members in a class can participate.
