iPad App: Explain Everything

My favorite new app is "Explain Everything."  I use this app on my iPad.  This app allows you to create videos and upload them to YouTube or GoogleDocs and then link them for students to use.  For example, I use Google Slides daily for my class instruction in Algebra class.  I am then able to export my Google Slides directly into Explain Everything.  Once I open the Explain Everything app, I can scroll through my slides while recording a video.  I am also able to write on my iPad screen and solve the problems on my slides as I go along.  The finished product is a video with audio explanations, visuals of problems being solved, while using the exact class examples from that day's lesson.  I then post this video for my students to access on Canvas.  Any students who need a re-teach of a concept or who were absent that day can have quick access to what was covered that day in class.

  1. Good idea. I've tried using a doc camera with paper & pen, but haven't been happy with the results.
