Explain Everything is an interactive whiteboard app for creating videos with annotations and animations. You could use the app record lectures and flip your classroom. Students can use the app to create presentations or explain their thinking as they go through a process.
Because the the app is so feature rich, it takes some time to get comfortable with all of the tools. We suggest starting with images and the basic annotation tools such as having your students use the writing tools to write on the screen or annotate an image. Helpful tutorials are available in the menu.
Use the floating menu on the left side of the screen to add content to the page. When you press record, all annotations, audio, and other movements will be recorded. You can edit parts of the recording using the timeline. Adding a slide is like adding a new clip to a video. Slides can easily be rearranged, duplicated or deleted. When the video is exported, the slides will be joined together into a single video.
Students can use the share button to export videos and images. They can also export and share projects they created with others. The live collaborative features are only available with a paid subscription.
