Post II. Explain Everything

Last Fall semester, I needed to develop instruction in the form of a video lecture. There was also a restriction: No “talking heads” used. So, that project made me search for some creative ways of instruction development. As a result, I found a brilliant application called Explain Everything. It represents a whiteboard where you can put anything you would like (e.g., pictures, videos, drawings, text boxes, etc.) and screencast that “putting” process. I used the app on my iPad, but it also runs on Android and Windows. Its current price in the App Store is  $2.99 (not sure it is the same for Google Play).

If you ever need a lecture-capturing tool, Explain Everything is the answer due to being cheap and comfortable in use. You don’t need a stylus to work with this app; everything can be done with your fingers. Among the features that I like most is that the app allows me to access my Dropbox account for importing of any types of files located there and exporting of the videos I completed.

Check out the app’s promo video below to see how it functions.
