Explain Everything
© 2013 Morris Cooke
Billing itself as a whiteboard tool for iPad, Explain Everything was invented by a teacher in New Jersey and created in Poland. It lets you annotate, animate, narrate, import, and export almost anything to and from almost anywhere. You can start with a blank screen, or import from PDF, PPT, DOC, XLS, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and RTF files from Evernote, Dropbox, Box, GDrive, WebDAV, Email, iTunes, and any app that allows you to open these file types using "Open In…". You can export as MP4 movies, PDF documents, PNG images, or XPL project files directly from your iPad. While making slides, you can draw in any color, add shapes, add text, and use a laser pointer. You can also rotate, move, scale, copy, paste, clone, and lock any object added to the stage and add new or existing photos and videos. No account is necessary to use Explain Everything and share creations. Note: we learned about this app from tech trainer Gail Lovely.
