Three Android Apps for Creating Whiteboard Video’s.

From the blog: Android 4 Schools comes this post about android apps that can be used to create whiteboard videos.

Know Recorder is a free Android app for creating whiteboard-style instructional videos. In only four steps, you can create a video on the app and upload it to youtube to share with your students.

Know Recorder also uses what it called a Know Lounge in which you can store and share your videos. Here is Richard Byrne show you how to use it: goo.gl/83NwnH

Clarisketch is a very easy to use app that has been around since 2014. You simply take a picture, highlight the details while recording your voice, and share it with others.

The last one is one that has also been around for a while but is till good to mention
and that is Explain Everything. The problem with Explain Everything is that is it really good.....but does cost. However, it might be worth the $3.99 if you use it over and over again.

Reminder about Thinglink and Haiku Deck

After reading the post about apps for Androids....I started thinking about other apps/websites that have been around for a while that we forget to use. In particular, two of my favorites: Thinglink and Haiku Deck.

Thinglink is so very easy to use. You simply start with a picture and then you can layer on text, video, graphics, links, and more.

To find out more, please watch this video: https://youtu.be/SlEAmtuR4Do

What is great about Thinglink is there are so many already created by other educators. All you have to do is remix to add in your own content or edit what is there. Here is how: https://youtu.be/SbhdEXZ_Jkw

Another one that I absolutely love due to how easy it is to use is Haiku Deck. Haiku Deck lets you add pictures and text to create an amazing presentation. It is now available on the web as well as an iPad app.

To see how to create a Haiku Deck, watch this video: https://youtu.be/5crVTsJk9QE
