An example of using this in the classroom.
Students can use these tools to create multimedia presentations or digital stories on any given topic, for example jointly creating a photo story to illustrate a fable or fairy-tale from the Asia region or a local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community story.
For connecting with Literacy students can take a photo of a book and record themselves reading, then listen back for fluency. Students can then share their digital story and read and illustrate creative writing for year 2.
Explain Everything is an easy-to-use tool that lets the teacher or students annotate, animate, and narrate explanations and presentations. Teachers can create dynamic interactive lessons, activities, assessments, and tutorials using Explain Everything's flexible and integrated design. Instead of apps being used as fast finisher activities, they should be used by students as part of their learning and to illustrate their learning.
