This morning in the AT&T Classroom Mrs. Wilbur demonstrated to the second graders how to use Educreations for solving math problems. Educreations is a multiplatform tool that allows the computer or tablet to record the student’s voice and his/her writing and drawing which can be saved for playback. When used on a tablet, Educreations allows the tablet to function as a digital dry erase board. Students are able to solve a math problem by writing the numbers and drawing images to accompany the problem and solution. They can also add voice-over by recording themselves explaining the steps they went through to solve the problem. Afterward, they can save their work and can also share it by mirroring the device to the presentation screen using AirPlay or Chromecast. Because it is a web-based tool, Educreations can also be used on desktops, laptops, and Chromebooks.
