Watch the Grade 9 Science class at Westgate Collegiate and Vocational Institute use technology to promote student inquiry and achievement.
The students in the video are using Explain Everything which is “an easy-to-use design, screencasting, and interactive whiteboard tool that lets you annotate, animate, narrate, import, and export almost anything to and from almost anywhere. Create slides, draw in any color, add shapes, add text, and use a laser pointer.”
The students use Explain Everything during labs as evidence and to explain student thinking as well as to complete online assessments and feedback through classroom websites, It also provides student feedback and encourages student motivation. https://youtu.be/Ui1KEh0ar6w
