The app allows you to draw, type, and import images, videos, pdfs and PowerPoint presentations. The whole process can be recorded with or without narration. The app can be used by teachers as supplementary instruction, instructional review, media at a specific station during collaborative group work, and much more. The app can be used by students to demonstrate understanding of a concept or task, to record work with narration for later studying, and much more. Explain Everything allows you and your students to create dynamic multimedia content to support teaching and learning.
Presenter Bio:
Brittney Merryweather: Brittney is a UBC BEd student in the Middle Years Self Regulated Learning cohort. She specializes in science, and graduated from SFU with a Bachelor’s degree in Behavioural Neuroscience. Brittney is not, and has never considered herself very tech literate, but has been drawn to the amazing opportunities to incorporate technology into her classroom to enhance learning. Thanks to the Sandbox sessions, the amazing tech help offered at lunch times in Scarfe, and the CUEBC professional development workshop, this is now a reality. Brittney actively works with apps such as Class Dojo, Plickers, and Explain Everything, websites such as Prezi and Piktochart, and other programs such as movie maker in her practicum classroom. She has also designed a unit which incorporates Google Street View, Skype, and QR codes, which she is very excited to initiate.
