Explain Everything is an application (app) that allows you, or more usefully, the girls, to annotate over any document, photo, video... (Essentially any type of file) and then save, share, or export that file. You (or the girls) could also do voiceovers to explain what they are annotating. You can annotate free hand, or in text, as well as resize and move everything around on the slide. It is worth pointing out that there are lots of different apps that do similar things to this, but Explain Everything (although it does look a bit complicated at first) is probably the most versatile. Some possible uses for lessons, or even as homework (which they could send to you for you to mark): 1. Take a photo of something and then explain it either with annotations, a voice over, or both. I've used it with practicals a lot in Chemistry. 2. Step by step guides with voiceovers, so we could actually know what they were thinking when they made that silly mistake... 3. You can import your flip charts or PowerPoints so that each new slide appears as a new slide on Explain Everything, and the girls could annotate those. 4. You can load multiple files onto one slide, so you they can annotate them and make direct comparisons. This works quite well with live websites as well. 5. You could make your own videos with explanations or worked examples that the girls could download - more of a 'flipped learning' kind of thing. I'm sure it can be used by the girls in lots of other creative ways - I just haven't figured them out yet. If you think of anything, please let me know. Thanks, Tom
