Community Review for Explain Everything
My Take
This App gives teachers the true insight into their students' learning. A teacher can then discuss this with the student, or students could reflect back on a series of 'Explain Everything' examples to self assess their development.
How I Use It
The iPad 2 had just come out, with a camera and shortly after, this app was created. I thought 'yes! true insight into a student's understanding!'
I would say this App is a K-12 App for ANY subject. You can have students annotate and explain their understanding from a reading, a group discussion, photos, mathematical equations, etc. I have seen K's use this app to explain their understanding of bees after viewing a video.

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!
