Explain Everything Screencast App Review for iPad

What Is Explain Everything iPad App?

Explain Everything iPad Video Apps for the Classroom Explain Everything is an iPad video app that allows you to create screencast videos on your iPad. Although it can be a useful app in many fields, I find it especially useful in the classroom. The app is setup in a manner similar to a presentation application like PowerPoint or Keynote, since your content is organized in slides. The benefit being that you can record each slide individually, instead of creating a video in one take like many of the other iPad video apps currently available.

Overall Impression

As you can probably tell from the video, I use the Explain Everything iPad App in my classroom on a regular basis. The app is very easy to use with a user-friendly interface, giving teachers the ability to introduce the app to students without requiring an intensive training session. Giving the user the ability to save videos as a finished product (movie) or a work in progress (project) to the iPad Camera Roll, Email, YouTube, Dropbox as well as other cloud based storage options is a huge positive.

Why Use Explain Everything in Your Classroom?

I use Explain Everything whenever possible as a creative way for students to not only problem solve in math, but as a way for them to be able to communicate their thinking in writing as well as visually and verbally. The Explain Everything iPad App forces the student to understand the problem more deeply than memorizing a procedure since they must explain what they did in each step of the solution.
