Community reviews for Educreations

This is an easy to use program with both ipad and web based versions. The controls can be a little cumbersome, but the ability to graphically display knowledge is useful on many levels.

This is by far the most used app in our school district. It is applicable to every grade level and subject. The app opens with an interactive whiteboard that allows for image upload, colored notations and voice recordings. As you move from one screen to the next, you can pause the recording. When the document is finished, it is saved on the device and uploaded to an online account. The only improvement would be an audio rerecord feature without having to start from the beginning.

Videos are easy to create and can be used for student review during independent work in the classroom, small group work, and/or homework. Links to videos can also be posted or emailed out to your audience. Whether or not students learn is heavily reliant on the creator's content and clarity.

Works well as direct instruction and flipped classroom. A teacher or a student can create a lesson step by step and voice-over instructions or comments.

This is a way to create a series of screens that can explain a lesson.

I love using this tool to help recreate grammar lessons. Students who need to potentially see the lesson again can get a link to the mini-grammar lesson I have recreated.

Educreations is a free app for iPads that allows people to create screencasts. The screencasts can include images, written text or diagrams, with audio to explain each part. A great feature is being able to have multiple pages, so you can set up multiple pages ahead of recording. A disadvantage is not being able to re-record without losing the image and diagrams. Teachers can set up classes. You can set screencasts for specific classes. There is also a class code that can be given to students that allows them to create a student account without needing an email address.

Educreations is an intuitive interactive whiteboard app. Students or teachers can record themselves explaining, demonstrating, noting, or illustrating. An account needs to be created to save videos, but the videos can be kept private. Educreations is a great way for teachers to create a small flip-style lesson or let the students create them. Students could explain an illustration or graphic. All of your creations stay saved in your account until they are deleted.
