I know there are plenty of free apps for teachers, but ExplainEverything is so cheap at USD 2.99, maybe others will want to pay the reasonable price and get some good tools. I use it to create grammar explanations about specific questions students ask–it’s colorful and really helps them understand. Recently, when the spring flowers started blooming, I used ExplainEverything and Google Images downloaded to my photo roll to put together a few photos of snowdrops, violets, etc with some prompt questions, then used the recording feature with students while they chatted and it worked great, too. ExplainEverything’s website has some nice examples made by teachers.
