Community reviews for Educreations

Overall I felt that the students really could understand their creations better, but I did not enjoy the fact that work could not be saved until it was completed. Sometimes the students do not finish an assignment and it can be very frustrating to work so diligently and then have to start over.

Very easy interface makes creating short presentations simple. Videos are compelling and can communicate a wide variety of content clearly and effectively.

Basic creation tool that both students and teachers can use. It is simple enough that students can figure it out on their own in 10 minutes. Allows you to record both your writing and voice. Does not allow for much editing.

This app is great and I think every school ipad should have this included on it. It is simple to use and can be integrated through all grade levels. If your district is using Google Apps for Education, students can easily sign in and email their creation to you. Educreations can also be helpful in the flipped classroom to easily create and post lessons.

Educreations is a whizzy little app that makes it easy to create a professional looking presentation for almost any user. You can use your own images or those from the web, annotate onscreen and narrate your slides with voiceover in real-time. I use the app on my iPad but our students have used it successfully on iPod touch as well as viewing results on PCs projected through their interactive classroom whiteboards. Educreations seems a very intuitive and flexible app that kids will just love to play around with. I'm sure they will show me things I would never think of doing with it.

Of all the many screencasting apps that I tried Educreations was in the middle of the pack for features and somewhat ahead of the pack for ease of use. It is fairly intuitive to learn. Older students will be able to get started on it with very little training and younger ones will catch on quickly once shown how. There are better screencasting apps, but this one is well known and pretty good.

This is my favorite FREE screencasting app. Unlike other apps, you can create multiple pages with multiple images. Record audio and annotations over images to share learning. Share publicly or privately by uploading to the web. There is also a PC web version of this one.

Simple whiteboard tool that is a great starting point for making multiscreen presentations.

This is a great app for evidence of student understanding and giving students opportunity to communicate in written and spoken language. The app encourages creativity and allows students to create an artifact they can be proud of.

I used Educreations almost every day in my middle school math classroom. I helped me bridge the gap between school and home by being accessible to the students from home through my instructional videos. I also found even more uses for Educreations than I originally intended, extending it as a reassessment tool. The only thing I wish you could do with Educreations is export videos.
