Bett is wonderful. For schools and school leaders, also students, also for teachers.
Bett is brilliant, we've been attending for few years.
I've had a very busy day, I've done a lot of presenting, talking
but it's fantastic and often not so much the technology but actually the conversations with people
and picking up tips from people is, and the network, and it is what is all about.
Technology is important in pretty much everything.
Education is a part that's been left behind for quite some time.
It's time now to take in the technology to enable the students to actually get things done
the different way and it's not just about the students but about the teachers as well.
Using that technology in the best way so the students can actually get out there
and get the best out for themselves rather than the traditional method where the teacher actually just provides the information.
It's more about teachers enabling students through technology to get the information.
So for us the iPad and technology is a tool. And like any tool it does nothing but let you use it,
but if you use it properly we see it as a catalyst to deeper learning
It's not a magic wand it won't solve the world's problems. It won't make students bully to everything,
but we do think it's a catalyst used to speed up their acquisition of key ideas.
It will improve their learning, you know, it's used to develop better teaching
One of the key things with the teachers at the moment, especially in the UK
is that they have very little time to do the kind of cool stuff they want to do.
They've got an awful lot of work to actually do so Explain Everything allows them to kind of
minimize the amount of time they spend on preparing for lessons. With it's organic nature
the ability of taking photos in the lesson the ability to really quickly record
and create wonderful presentations. Putting all of that inside a lesson saves them time
and reduces their workload, and it means that they can focus on the cool stuff, like preparing and making
interesting lessons.
It allows you to do things that you weren't able to do before
and I think that's powerful. It's the tool of the future, you know?
It amplifies your ability to do things.
We're a very large academy in the UK and Explain Everything is one of the
very first apps that we bought. We don't buy many paid apps for the students.
Only two or three, but that is the main one that we do buy. We also love
technology, particularly things like Explain Everything as a way to develop student's independence.
We use Explain Everything in my school and I believe it's a fantastic tool for learning. Both from a
teacher perspective and from a student perspective as well.
Of course I was familiar with Explain Everything. I love it. We use it a lot and we use it to create and to visualize knowledge.
The fact that students can speak, and they can write, and draw and be able to kind of tell their story.
I think that's a really powerful thing. I think it allows us to measure the cognitive development of children.
Because you can't just cut and paste something from somewhere. You've really got to be able to explain.
I think it's one of the few tools that allows students to focus on their academic abilities,
but at the same time is developing their creativity. Of course for teachers, it's a fantastic tool of making videos in a simple and reliable way.
I think it's really really powerful.
Being able to get to the core of it and be able to explain others. The cool thing about teaching, me being a teacher,
the one thing that drives me is passing on that knowledge. And if students can do that, that's absolutely awesome to me.
And especially through an app like this that's so simple to pick up and easy to embed within schools.
It's a brilliant app.
Especially the last four years we are using Explain Everything in our schools.
It's our fifth grade, sixth grade, seventh grade,
and eight grade. And also our high schools. Explain Everything is in the center of our iPad projects.
I like very much the search, to search online and then add it inside the web browser
that you can put it inside. It gives you all kinds of opportunities. It's actually like, the mother of all apps.
You can do almost anything with this.
I'm in love with Explain Everything.
