Over the past year or so, I've noticed a surge in new, scrappy education startups. One of the most promising ones I've seen is ShowMe, previously called Easel Learning. The New York City startup just raised an $800,000 seed round from Lerer Ventures, SV Angel, and betaworks. ShowMe turns your tablet computer into an interactive video whiteboard. Teachers can record lessons while speaking and drawing on the touchscreen. The resulting videos can then be viewed on the iPad app or the ShowMe website, where they can be searched shared, and voted up. The iPad app has been downloaded 150,000 times since its launch a month ago, which is not bad for an eduction app.
