Explain EDU (Explain Basics) iPad App

Explain EDU: A 'Very' Beginner Guide (Video 7 min)   tip: use your iPhone's earpods as your mic to prevent recording the pencil taps on your iPad 

NOTE:  It is possible to Open the same Google Meet on your desktop and your iPad at the same time.  Make sure only one MIC is on and that sound is completely off on one of the devices or you will get horrible feedback. Use PRESENT SCREEN on the iPad so students can see your Explain EDU app.
