What IS Educreations?
Educreations is an app that makes it easy for teachers to make their own creations right from their iPad!
Starting Out
When you first open the app, you are brought to this page. From here, you can either begin a new Educreation (if you have the pro version) or edit your existing Educreation.
Beginning your Educreation
When you first start to make your educreation, you can choose which type of background to use. you can choose from blank, lined, graph, or coordinate grid.
editing your Educreation
When you are working on your educreation, you can add text, existing pictures, or you have the option to take a new picture. There are also color pots that you can click on to draw, as seen in this picture.
Writing text
When you are adding text into your Educreation, this is what it will look like. There will be an outlined text box where ever you choose to put it when prompted, and this is where your typed text will appear. When you are finished typing and click done, you can move your text to where ever you want on the page.

Finished product 2.
For this creation, I used the insert picture feature to upload a picture of a cow. I then used the drawing feature to draw arrows to different places on the cow and then used to text feature to write the different parts of the cow and the title.
