Explain Everything, Show Me, and Educreations

These are Khan Academy-style Apps that allow both you and students to create educational videos.  All are very similar to each other, although I have found Explain Everything to have more uploading options and Show Me to be easier to share than Educreations.  

My preferred uses for them are to A:  Create flipped classroom videos with them to post on my blog for the next day’s upcoming classes, or B:  Challenge my students to create their own “How To” videos in order for me to use them with my future classes while teaching the subject.
  • Explain Everything is particularly useful because it allows you to add in YouTube videos, personal clips, and items from Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, etc. with ease.  (This is a personal favorite!)
  • Show Me is useful in that it also allows you and your students to view previously created videos according to subject whether or not you have actually logged in for an account.  See Valentina's example!
  • Educreations is very similar to Show Me, with a slightly different format.  Here's a quick example of what you can do with the App.  Enjoy!
