Tuesday, May 12, 2015

One of the most versatile apps I have discovered this year is Explain Everything. This app can be anything from an interactive whiteboard to a screencasting tool and it's easy to learn for teacher as well as student! I have made an Explain Everything screencast to introduce you to the Explain Everything app. (It's posted at http://www.frenship.us/Page/7628 ). Included on the web page are additional resources and examples of student-created work. Hope you enjoy exploring Explain Everything!!!
