Screencasting with EXPLAIN EVERYTHING


Explain Everything 2 is an easy-to-use design, screencasting, and interactive whiteboard app for the iPad that lets students annotate, animate, narrate, import, and export images, video and webpages. 

Students can create slides, draw, add shapes, add text, and use a laser pointer. Students can also rotate, move, scale, copy, paste, clone, and lock any object added to the stage.
Finished projects can be exported as a movie to the `Camera Roll'.

Teachers & students find it a highly creative tool which can be utilised in a range of curriculum areas to make thinking visible . It enables students to articulate their thinking by creating multimodal explanations in which they provide step by step demonstrations of that thinking  In many schools, for example, it is used for students to capture  and reflect on their solutions when problem solving in Mathematics,

The Explain Everything app has recently updated and so the best tutorials are available as an ebook within the app itself.

One of the most creative uses of the Explain Everything app is a tutorial in which Paul Hamilton, a well known EDTech pioneer, uses it to create an animated robot.
