Community reviews for Educreations

I like this product and used it for over a year. If you want a more advanced video creator with more features, Knomia or Explain Everything might be the way to go. It would probably be best to start with Educreations or Show Me, which are both simpler and easier to use.

This is one of those apps that can be used for multiple age levels and academic areas. The content comes from the student. This app is just a great method for getting the content out there for others to see.

Educreations is so simple that it is accessible to teachers and even young students. It works for all students, because it gives students a way to make their thinking visible using pictures, words, annotations, and voice. This app is really a must have for the classroom. I love to use it in math to see if students are able to solve a problem with explanation. It is much easier to see any misconceptions through an Educreations presentation than with a paper and pencil assessment.

I have used this app in every content area in my classroom. It has served as a wonderful tool to encourage language use in the target language and it allows students opportunities to display their creativity and create engaging presentations around content.

As a teaching tool, this is the ideal tool for flipping your classroom. It is easy to use, and you can also peruse other lessons for different subjects/teachers around the world.

This app is primarily used by teachers to create "how-to", informational and review videos. But I like it for student use. Students have to plan out their project. Works well for small groups, too.

I love using this as a formative assessment. Since it is a whiteboard, there is no structure to limit the students' creativity or parameters to hold them back. They can use the pens to draw, the camera to take pictures to include, and record their voices to show understanding. I wish that it was not necessary to publish the videos online in order to share them. I'd rather that they were able to save the video to the camera roll and then import it into their Google drive for saving purposes. Since my students are under 13, they can't publish to the internet without permission.

I love that this program integrates the whiteboard with a lot of other sites (including dropbox). It has a quick learning curve and students continue to use it after they learn it.

Overall this app is great because you are able to embed your own photos then write over them and record the thought process at the same time. It then pushes them out as an mp4 that can be emailed or put on any website. This feature is great and it really did not take long for students to be able to catch onto it.

I think this is a great app that is easy to use and limited only by your imagination. Students will discover many uses and enjoy working with it instead of paper and pencil.
