My Take
I have tried all (I think) of the screencasting apps, and Explain Everything is the best by far. It has the most tools and the most/best options for saving and sharing the videos created. This app is an app for creating - both by the teacher and/or student.
How I Use It
1. I create videos using Explain Everything for my students to view. Sometimes I use these videos to flip my lessons and other times I use the videos for reinforcement.
2. I have students show their work by creating their own videos using Explain Everything. I do this to have the students show their thinking, a good way to assess formatively.

Fantastic addition to enhance student presentations as well as those for teachers. Creative possibilities are endless. High SAMR capability. Students create videos, documents, drawings and are able to store and locate on another computer online. GREAT !
I find this a very useful , free tool that the students will love using. This can be used at the most basic level. It can also be used at the top level of the SAMR chart. I enjoyed the variations of approaches that the students could make their presentations. They could draw it,import clip art, or use images. They could narrate it or highlight with writing. The could interact with each other and collaborate.

Students and Teachers Explain Everything
I have tried a lot of white boarding apps, but I always come back to Explain Everything. It has such a robust tool bar, so many options for sharing your final product, and is so user friendly that it outshines the competition. Cost is minimal, and in a lot of ways I think it is a great replacement or substitute for student PowerPoint use. Presentations become more media rich and interactive than a PowerPoint!
