Made with Explain Everything
Teacher Centered Instruction
5 THINGS EVERY TEACHER SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WITH EXPLAIN EVERYTHING APP
- Import and insert any document, picture or video - As we all know, students learn differently. How better to use technology to reach more learning styles all at once.
- Draw and annotate - Teachers can point out specifics to students that will help hone in on important items.
- Move and animate ideas in motion - Create your own animated lesson with your own images or words.
- Record and play - Teachers have control of what your students hear and see.
- Export and share - Not only can teachers create but you can share using a variety of avenues.
