Community reviews for Educreations

Overall, I love this app as a screen cast or video tool where students can demonstrate their knowledge of concepts. It has multiple tools including drawing, text, images, audio, and screen cast recording. It also is applicable for multiple learning levels and differentiated instruction. The only downfall is that the initial learning curve is a bit steep, but students are fearless and jump right in.

This is an app that can be quickly used in the class by allowing teachers to access a vast library of already created lessons. Lessons created produce a URL that can easily be shared or posted on a learning management system such as Blackboard or posted on a teacher's blog/website for easy access by students. On the flip side, it also is a fantastic app that provides students a creative outlet for further analyzing content or demonstrating their learning. Students/Teachers start with a blank whiteboard and can add text, pictures, drawings and narration. Pages can be added for a more dynamic demonstration/explanation. Two things that I wish would change: the ability to edit after saving and the ability to preview a recording before saving (FYI: I have heard that you can preview the recording, but have not figured it out, even with research.) I like that Educreations is a web-based application as well giving students and teachers more options/flexibility especially when working in a school that may not have access to mobile devices.

As a teacher working with many ELL students, this app is an excellent way for students to demonstrate their understanding using various communication forms. Students can work in small groups or alone so it is excellent for extroverts/ introverts. In addition, students can write, import photos, draw, and/or record their voice which allows flexibility in how they want to demonstrate their understanding. Lastly, there is no specific content; rather, it is an app that allows students and teachers to input whatever content they want and use the technology as a tool to showcase understanding/ explanation of the chosen content.

This is the best IWB app that I've tried. The MAJOR aspect that it has over other IWB apps is that you can get photos from the web and add them. It adds SO much.

Educreations has the ability to have students create, evaluate, analyze, apply, understand and remember their learning at any stage. It records your voice, handwriting, and allows for insertion of pictures. Students can demo their learning while teachers can use it to "flip" some of their content info found in their classes. Like the ability to store lessons on a website that can be either public or private. If public then links can be shared via email, blog or class website for easy access.

Screen casting app with many features including audio, keystroke, image import as well as graph paper, notebook lined paper and white paper. Recorded lessons can be up to 30 minutes however, there isn't a limit to creating several mini lessons.

I enjoy using this App for an oral reading fluency gage. I've used it in small group settings as well. There are many uses for this App by incorporating pictures, and text.

Educreations is a wonderful tool for assessing the depth of student learning. When students are writing and talking and videotaping it, you can truly see whether or not they have mastered a particular concept or skill. Additionally, the students are proud of the videos that they create, and they want to share them with other students - so more learning occurs.

I am so excited to be using this program! I am just beginning to understand flipped teaching and the one piece that I have used is the opportunity to make video lessons that students can access at any time. The first time I used the program, I watched one of their tutorials. Within 20 minutes I had created a video of my own that my students could watch the next day. By the end of the week, I had created 4 lessons.

This app is great for teachers and students. As a teacher I can project this app and use it the same way I would my white board with one great additional feature, it records. This app will record my lecture and annotations, so once I am finished I can add it to my class website for students who are absent or need additional review of the topic. Also this app is great for students to use to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the topic. I wish there was an editing option. Once you publish a video you cannot go back and make changes, which is sometimes difficult in a 50 min class period.
