My Take

Out of several other similar products, my PLN and TLC have both landed on Explain Everything as the best choice as an interactive whiteboard. It has a very simple initial set up, but then countless additional features are embedded and easily accessible once you are comfortable with the interface.

How I Use It

For our 1:1 iPad program (Grades 5-12), Explain Everything is the key Digital Whiteboard app for us. It allows students and teachers to create content and demonstrate understanding and integrate many different types of media (photos, movie, voice, pointer, text, drawing/handwriting...) For example, it is a VERY user friendly tool for flipping content as well (think Khan Academy) and for student presentations.

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!
