*David Talone says about this app:
…Explain Everything allows you to narrate over each individual slide, and you can also edit the narration, which is impossible in some of the other apps. I had success exporting the movies as mp4s and sharing them with the kids on Google Docs and projecting them for the class….
As soon as the teacher new to comprehension based instruction and stories has a minimal handle on how to create a story with her class, she is urged to start exploring interactive whiteboards. They are a perfect strategy to wrap up any and all comprehensible input on any given day on a high note, and to set up a third step reading class.
Interactive whiteboards have the potential to bring students into the classroom process in ways we haven’t yet imagined.
