Adding Content to Explain Everything

I have spent more time diving into the deep end of Explain Everything.  You know you can insert images, videos, and audio.  But wait, there is so much more!  Did you know you can insert equations?  What about different files that are already created?  And clipart that is already a part of Explain Everything?  And then there are the placeholders!  Here's a quick video to show you how!  Hope you enjoy!

How will you use the Add Media feature to enhance your next Explain Everything project?

Explain Everything: A Conversation

I'm back...sharing more about Explain Everything, again!  I know.  But, Explain Everything is amazing!!!  If you have not tried Explain Everything in your classroom you don't have to take my word for it.  I want to share a conversation I had recently with a fellow middle school Language Arts educator, Julie Ann Price, who agrees with me!  You can listen to our conversation here:

So, now that you have heard from others, what do you have to say?  Are you ready to jump into Explain Everything?

Drawing with Explain Everything

I am loving using Explain Everything...for just about everything!  When I'm working with learners I like to make sure they know a few little tips and tricks for the drawing tools. When you first open the app you might think there are limited tools, but when you keep tapping around you can find so much more!  Check out this video to see if you find something new!

Everything Tips!

Explain Everything is one of my favorite apps right now because you can do...well...everything with it!  You can add images, videos, create actions while putting together a video, and list goes on!  I like how you can have multiple slides in one project but don't forget about the infinite white space of each slide.

While I've been experimenting with Explain Everything I have put together 5 tips to keep in mind when using the app to record your voice.

And another very important point to keep in mind is to always save or backup your work.  Nothing is worse than putting all of your energy into a project and then have part of it disappear.  Really, how do projects show up one day and then they are gone the next?  Sometimes an app will have glitches, but I don't want to lose my work.  There are several options for integrating other apps with Explain Everything, but I am selecting Google Drive as my source for saving and backing up my projects.  Explain Everything allows projects to be exported as a video, document, image, or project.  While I'm still working on it, I will use the Project file type to save to Drive.  When I am completely done with a project I will save it as a video or an image depending on what I want to do with the project.  Watch this video to see how to connect Explain Everything to Drive and export a project.

I can't wait to see more projects created in Explain Everything!  Have you tried it lately?
