App of the Week for the week of July 2nd: Educreations

Picture
Summer is the time to refresh, rejuvenate, and reinvigorate our teaching!  While you're laying out next to the pool this summer, download one of our favorite new apps: Educreations.  

With the recent trend of creating Flipped Classrooms, this app makes screen casting a breeze.  A white board app with the ability to embed images and record audio, Educreations is essential to any teacher looking to spend their summer creating resources for a newly Flipped Classroom.  

The fun doesn't end there, either! Here are a few student-centered ideas for using Educreations:

  • Assess mastery by having students narrate their answer to a multiple choice question targeting a specific skill.  They can use the whiteboard tools to illustrate their rationale. Click HERE for examples.
  • Social Studies: Have students narrate and annotate an image of a map as they point out key geographic features of a particular country or civilization.  
  • Language Arts: Have students draw a bubble map to describe the traits of the main character and then narrate their thoughts about a character's credibility.
  • Math: Have students work to solve a problem, narrating the steps and strategies they use to reach their solution.
  • Science: Have students draw a diagram to illustrate the water cycle and narrate the process as they draw.
