Educreation in Math

This is a lesson where students were explaining geometry terms such as parallel and perpendicular. Students used the camera on their iPads to capture pictures of examples around the school. They then used Educreations, a white board app that can record the screen while you write and talk,  to explain and show the lines.


 This is a great beginner app because it is so easy for students to learn, yet has a plethora of uses in the classroom!
