What a Loser #8: Educreations

20140328-051856.jpg

Educreations was another app I was sad to see go out early in our iPad App March Madness competition. It is a screen casting app with quite a bit of flexibility, especially considering it is a free app. It has a white board background onto which the user can draw, type, insert images, etc. It also integrates with the microphone on yry iPad so that y can record audio narration to go with the visuals. Teachers can use this app for screen casting lessons. Teachers who want to try a bit of classroom flipping where homework becomes the watching of a screencast so that class time can be spent on deeper instruction, activity, or discussions might like to try Educreations. If y have access to 1:1 iPads, try having students use Educreations to demonstrate what they have learned through the creation of their own screencast. (Takes making a poster to a whole new level!!)  Visit the Educrations website for more ideas about how other teachers are using this cool app!
