Explain Everything: The Infinite Multimedia Whiteboard You Didn't Know You Needed
Limited Capacity seats available

As we move away from the interactive whiteboards in the elementary schools, Explain Everything (EE) is a tool that teachers will want to have at their disposal. It has some non-intuitive parts to it, so presenting on it to teachers (rather than having them figure it out on their own) will be helpful. The session will explore how EE can be used as a mobile, multimedia whiteboard that can be pre-loaded with information or interacted directly with during a lesson. If time permits, we can look at how students could use the app to demonstrate their learning.
