What do you like best about Explain Everything?

If you are a teacher in a one-to-one school district, or use eLearning days instead of make-up days at the end of the school year, Explain Everything will be your friend. The program allows you to easily flip your classroom, providing templates for the types of lessons you likely teach most often. You can create your own template, or use a pre-loaded template. Pre-loaded templates are a simple matter of drag-drop and can be modified to quickly meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explain Everything?

In my school district, we use a specific platform to deliver online instruction, Canvas. While Canvas works fine, I would like to be able to add Explain Everything as an app within the platform or as an add-on that students could use to create their own lessons. This would make classroom integration seamless and allow me to quickly move between ideas and lessons without checking multiple sites or providing links/passwords to students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Explain Everything:

If you are working in a school district that is implementing one-to-one instructional practices, using eLearning days, and/or encouraging a flipped classroom, this product is a great place to hone your skills. It allows you to easily create lessons and activities, while keeping students engaged. You are not doing a simple switch of hard copy worksheets for an online copy, you are legitimately implementing technology in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Explain Everything solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently, I use Explain Everything to help flip my classroom. This is especially true when we need to create eLearning modules for snow make-up days. Explain Everything allows me to easily create a lesson on new material and share that lesson with my students. They are able to hear instruction that is directly from the teacher, and see examples worked in front of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Explain Everything?

I love how I can utilize it in the classroom and that it can be utilized on an iPad. It provides me and my students another tool they can utilize to demonstrate their knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explain Everything?

It can be a little clunky to navigate at times and the file size can be quite large, which does not allow us to upload into our LMS system. We have found work arounds, but if files could generate smaller, that would be great, but that is the issue with videos in general, so not unique to Explain Everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Explain Everything:

Seeing if you can cut teh file size down at all would be helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Explain Everything?

This software has something that I particularly feel like fit with my skills, my work, and my experience. I really enjoy when I use it. It is very impressive the real-time communication by voice call that I have with my partners, it is one of the best things that I can say about this amazing, but really amazing product. In the Whiteboard territory, Explain Everithing is by far, the best option. It has to be one of the 7 wonders of the world, it works almost perfectly. I really want to use it, by all the time, that I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explain Everything?

It could be a little difficult at first, the people who use it for the first time, it has to be taught to how to use this software, because it is innovative, and it can be a little difficult to learn to some people. It can be annoying the fact, that if you don't know how to use it, the experience with this software can be very difficult, and frustrating. And I don't think that is a good thing for this product. The premise need to be a little more clear, advanced and easier for the first time users. And I do not think that it could be a lot of cons that I can put, if I am a regular user of this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Explain Everything:
