Screencasting+Apps

[] Very extensive reviews with comparison chart of // ** [|ReplayNote], [|Explain Everything] , [|ScreenChomp] , and [|ShowMe]. ** // media type="custom" key="14207034"

**Our Thoughts:**
 * App Name || Pros  || Cons  ||
 * Screen Chomp || * Very basic and easy
 * Only 3 pens, clear, and background to utilize as tools
 * Can be taught to older students in less than 5 minutes.
 * Can use a picture from camera roll as a background to annotate over - ie: label parts, etc...
 * allows you to download an mp4 when you're finished. It also has you view your work before uploading it to their site.
 * allows you to scroll down if you are running out of space with two fingers. || * Can randomly can take several minutes to package as a movie & sometimes it just doesn’t.
 * Only sharing options are email, tweeting it, or copying link. Link has to be pasted into an app like Simplenote in which you can then access from a computer to get the links to post on a wiki.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">Occasionally freezes upon opening app ||
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Show Me || * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">eraser tool
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">import images from web page built in || * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">only one page (could pause recording and erase page and then resume to make it appear there’s more than one page)
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">does not have the download and preview feature of ScreenChomp, but they provide their gallery within their app and not just on their website. This would allow students to view work publicly uploaded from other students or teachers. Some are pretty good. ||
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">Educreations || * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">Super simple upload and link share feature
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">multiple pages
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">import photo from Dropbox, camera, or library || * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; vertical-align: baseline;">No erase tool (only clear page or clear ink) ||
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Explain Everything || * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">cost $2.99 (1/2 off for schools).
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">It allows for text, shapes, videos, pdfs and web links.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Everything else works like ScreenChomp including mp4 downloads. You can share the file so others can work on it.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">It works with Keynote, Dropbox, Pages and Evernote.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">[] Video explanation of app
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Might be a good app for the district to purchase in addition to Page, Keynote and iMovie. ||  ||
