School will be back in session for many teachers before they know it. After a break, many teachers are eager to find educational applications that will be help them stay organized, connected with their students and parents, and support their students’ learning in the classroom. Educreations is a unique app that is designed with the teacher and student in mind.
Educreations allows teachers to create tutorials, teach from anywhere around the world, assess students knowledge and save time in the classroom. Teachers can assign students classwork and track progress, but it also allows students to learn at their own pace. The app even allows teachers to use a whiteboard to teach a concept and record their teaching to share with their students or other teachers around the world. Teachers can share their tutorials on Facebook, Twitter, Edmodo, Youtube and Dropbox.
A basic account for teachers is free and gives teachers access to creating tutorials, storage space for their work and email support with the Educreation help desk. However, if teachers are interested in purchasing a subscription, one classroom has a small subscription price and a subscription for ten or more teachers also has an annual price. Educreations is becoming more popular for teachers as they build digital classrooms and is an innovative tool to save time, allow teachers to share their lessons more widely, and helps their students succeed.
