My Take
I plan on having students use this app to design their cultural heritage presentation this year instead of using Powerpoint and Prezi. It helps presentations come to life and makes the design process more fun for the students. The sequential slide feature seems to be easier for students to operate than the continuous feed in the ShowMe app.
How I Use It
My students used this app to review or reteach a topic about which they learned earlier in the semester. Using the pointer to specify part of an image they were discussing, underlining words for emphasis, and filling in graphic organizers were their favorite tools. Many felt awkward about recording and hearing their own voices (middle school - go figure).

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!
