Explain Everything...

Today in I.T., our children explored a new app on iPads called Explain Everything with Mr. Hoffman. It was a cool app that allows you to save a photo (a map, a book, a diagram etc.) and crop, highlight, write or draw right on the photo, AND record your voice while you explain or give directions, read an excerpt from a book, or present a diagram. The kids tried out this app today by taking a photo of a page in a book, cropping the unneeded part, and recording their own reading. It was a good way to practice reading, explaining or presenting a project or diagram (i.e. "Star of the Week" poster. Too bad we didn't know about this earlier.) by hearing their own reading. But I am sure this app will come in handy again for future presentations. = )
