Explain Everything

About

Explain Everything is a digital whiteboard, but it is also much more than that.  There are a variety of tools that students can use to aid in learning.  Students can draw, add shapes and text, and even record video.  Explain Everything also has a collaborate feature where students can work togther or where teachers can comment and provide meaningful feedback.

Support UDL

Explain Everything works best in an upper middle school to high school setting.  This program works best to allow students an alternate means to illustrate their ideas through multiple media and use mulitple media for communication.  Students can use the tools in Explain Everything to capture their ideas in an effective manner and even collaborate with other students to foster collaboration and community.  Teachers can also use the application to provide meaningful feedback.  Finally, Explain Everything supports the ability to highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships by using the built-in animate, draw, and construction tools.
