How I can use this in the library

I could use this to show new technology in the classroom such as explaining apps or websites. I could also use this to model proper use of technology in my digital citizenship units. Alphabetizing and dictionary skill could also be modeled with explain everything!

Project Directions

I think this would be a great way to explain new projects. Students would have a video to return to for important information.

Tons of curriculum uses and more!

Of course there are tons of curriculum specific uses for Explain Everything. for my fifth graders I would teach them how to use it and show their learning with it. I think it would be fun to use in writing too. Kids would naturally be brainstorming each step of a process as they prepare to make a tutorial video. I would like to make some videos for parents to show them how to gain access to websites and tools we use in class. (class notebook, badgelist, office 365, canvas) I could make qr codes for each video and share them in newsletters, emails, and a webpage, (if I ever get my webpage done).

Science and other uses

I think this would be a great app to be used with science to explain concepts, like states of matter! It would also be a great app for enrichment for students to explain their thinking with math concepts to be used by other students to help them.

Flipped Classroom for Science - Water Cycle

I could use the Explain-Everything app to create a video with graphics and audio to pre-teach a lesson on the water cycle.  Time in class would be spent creating the water cycle in small groups and presenting the information the students learned.

Visual students would benefit from this app!

As a special ed teacher, it is my job to teach students in a variety of ways. This. Oils be beneficial to record my own videos of grade level material for students to use at home as another method to learn from.

Great tool to explain thinking.

This is a great tool to use in the classroom when asking a student to explain something. For example, I can see myself using it in my classroom with math. Students could verbally explain a math problem while also modeling their work. It could also be used as a quick tutorial to record sound and image of a math problem or process when a student is absent. This could also be used in science for an experiment or presentation.

QR code-linked skill tutorials

I would love to create my own videocasts about math or reading decoding skills and link them to QR codes for kids to scan when they need a reminder. I could create them for double digit addition and subtraction, I could bring to life decoding strategy anchor charts, or eventually I could have students create their own Explain Everything to demonstrate mastery of a skill or strategy to be shown to other students for support.

This was awesome!

I loved Explain Everything!  I think that I could use this next year for a student project to show how the body changes while under stress (exercising).  This would be a great hands-on way for students to share a story with me or the class that allows them to also be creative and artistic while working.

Repeating myself 6xs is crazy! Be great to be able 2 play 4 the instruction and then discuss as needed AND students have it for reference.

Maybe it's the video but I'm thinking Science....

I would love to incorporate this into Science probably because I watched the video! We are getting reading to start a unit on Earth's Landscapes and I wonder if this can be used to demonstrate how erosion affects different parts of the earth.

Short videos

I think Explain Everything would be a good way to make videos that could introduce or refresh concepts for students. I like that I can add my own graphics!
