Mr. Krause, Mrs. McCumber, and Ms. Wilcox informed me today that he would like to complete Common Craft type videos on the iPad because, as he states it, "I like the explanation aspect".
I immediately thought, "This could be a great opportunity to create the entire video on the iPad."
I chose a drawing app, specifically Draw-n-Share Lite because of its paper feel, and it was free!
I also chose Explain Everything because it is the tool that best provides a canvas. I thought of Lee and his "four 750 watt bulbs" that he uses for shooting video. We don't have that! Explain Everything removes the additional equipment that is needed while still providing a great production canvas. View the process!
I also liked Explain Everything, because I could write a script for each slide, thus stating clearly what was to be spoken on each slide. I used Evernote, but any tool, including paper and pencil, could be utilized.
With ONLY one hour into the project, I was able to make the following Producing Muscles In Plain English.
In one week, I look forward to viewing what the students create.

As we are in final stages of using iMovie Trailer for absolute rulers, I asked a few students what they liked about the tech tool.
Can you guess which comment validated using the app?

Why would I ever want to use Evernote?
I have used Evernote Since June of 2012. It now is the only tool that I use to do all of the items listed below.
- Multi Device Tool
- Web Clipper Extension (Save Everything)
- Phone
- iPad
- Pictures (can't instantly place on Google Drive)
- Simultaneous Search
- With the Evernote Web Clipper, searching for Google is like searching for resources that you know you have AND wanted in the past! See what I mean!
- Create Lists
- 9:00 PM. List
- Travel List
- Grocery List
- Tomorrow List See what I mean!
- Shopping Store To Store
- Writing
- Don't reuse phrases
- Always writing (even in a kayak)
- Sharing Information
- Students
- Parents
- Other applications allow "pushing" to Evernote
- Recipes and Cooking

Combined with our paper and pencil graphing results from a "bouncy ball lab", Explain Everything became the best tool for comparing and contrasting the connections between two events. As educators we really saw how the students were forced to explain the graphs and the results from it. There was no "hiding in their notebook", and students really enjoyed creating their results.
Today, students will record voices on each slide and upload/share it to their Google Drive. They will also share it with their instructor.
See how the students explained the experiment.
