00:00:09,147 --> 00:00:14,217
Bett is wonderful. For schools and school leaders, also students, also for teachers.

2
00:00:14,583 --> 00:00:17,573
Bett is brilliant, we've been attending for few years.

3
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:20,920
I've had a very busy day, I've done a lot of presenting, talking

4
00:00:20,931 --> 00:00:26,201
but it's fantastic and often not so much the technology but actually the conversations with people

5
00:00:26,221 --> 00:00:30,441
and picking up tips from people is, and the network, and it is what is all about.

6
00:00:30,591 --> 00:00:33,461
Technology is important in pretty much everything.

7
00:00:33,461 --> 00:00:36,921
Education is a part that's been left behind for quite some time.

8
00:00:36,959 --> 00:00:41,679
It's time now to take in the technology to enable the students to actually get things done

9
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:46,209
the different way and it's not just about the students but about the teachers as well.

10
00:00:46,209 --> 00:00:50,539
Using that technology in the best way so the students can actually get out there

11
00:00:50,539 --> 00:00:57,369
and get the best out for themselves rather than the traditional method where the teacher actually just provides the information.

12
00:00:57,369 --> 00:01:02,969
It's more about teachers enabling students through technology to get the information.

13
00:01:03,101 --> 00:01:08,141
So for us the iPad and technology is a tool. And like any tool it does nothing but let you use it,

14
00:01:08,141 --> 00:01:11,751
but if you use it properly we see it as a catalyst to deeper learning

15
00:01:11,753 --> 00:01:17,173
It's not a magic wand it won't solve the world's problems. It won't make students bully to everything,

16
00:01:17,208 --> 00:01:22,408
but we do think it's a catalyst used to speed up their acquisition of key ideas.

17
00:01:22,408 --> 00:01:26,688
It will improve their learning, you know, it's used to develop better teaching

18
00:01:27,176 --> 00:01:30,906
One of the key things with the teachers at the moment, especially in the UK

19
00:01:30,906 --> 00:01:34,606
is that they have very little time to do the kind of cool stuff they want to do.

20
00:01:34,608 --> 00:01:38,608
They've got an awful lot of work to actually do 
so Explain Everything allows them to kind of

21
00:01:38,651 --> 00:01:43,261
minimize the amount of time they spend on 
preparing for lessons. With it's organic nature

22
00:01:43,288 --> 00:01:47,478
the ability of taking photos in the lesson
the ability to really quickly record

23
00:01:47,478 --> 00:01:52,998
and create wonderful presentations. Putting all of that inside a lesson saves them time

24
00:01:53,017 --> 00:01:58,317
and reduces their workload, and it means that they can focus on the cool stuff, like preparing and making

25
00:01:58,327 --> 00:01:59,467
interesting lessons.

26
00:01:59,467 --> 00:02:02,687
It allows you to do things that you weren't able to do before

27
00:02:02,754 --> 00:02:06,774
and I think that's powerful. It's the tool of the future, you know?

28
00:02:06,942 --> 00:02:10,202
It amplifies your ability to do things.

29
00:02:10,562 --> 00:02:13,532
We're a very large academy in the UK and Explain Everything is one of the

30
00:02:13,534 --> 00:02:17,534
very first apps that we bought. We don't buy many paid apps for the students.

31
00:02:17,549 --> 00:02:21,549
Only two or three, but that is the main one that we do buy. We also love

32
00:02:21,552 --> 00:02:26,812
technology, particularly things like Explain Everything as a way to develop student's independence.

33
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:33,380
We use Explain Everything in my school and I believe it's a fantastic tool for learning. Both from a

34
00:02:33,381 --> 00:02:36,231
teacher perspective and from a student perspective as well.

35
00:02:36,243 --> 00:02:47,053
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.

36
00:02:47,894 --> 00:02:54,364
The fact that students can speak, and they can write, and draw and be able to kind of tell their story.

37
00:02:54,374 --> 00:03:00,644
I think that's a really powerful thing. I think it allows us to measure the cognitive development of children.

38
00:03:00,644 --> 00:03:06,054
Because you can't just cut and paste something from somewhere. You've really got to be able to explain.

39
00:03:06,054 --> 00:03:14,394
I think it's one of the few tools that allows students to focus on their academic abilities,

40
00:03:14,394 --> 00:03:23,564
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.

41
00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:25,770
I think it's really really powerful.

42
00:03:27,401 --> 00:03:33,551
Being able to get to the core of it and be able to explain others. The cool thing about teaching, me being a teacher,

43
00:03:33,595 --> 00:03:40,035
the one thing that drives me is passing on that knowledge. And if students can do that, that's absolutely awesome to me.

44
00:03:40,035 --> 00:03:44,795
And especially through an app like this that's so simple to pick up and easy to embed within schools.

45
00:03:44,795 --> 00:03:45,945
It's a brilliant app.

46
00:03:46,494 --> 00:03:53,734
Especially the last four years we are using Explain Everything in our schools.

47
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:56,344
It's our fifth grade, sixth grade, seventh grade,

48
00:03:56,344 --> 00:04:05,024
and eight grade. And also our high schools. Explain Everything is in the center of our iPad projects.

49
00:04:05,575 --> 00:04:12,235
I like very much the search, to search online and then add it inside the web browser

50
00:04:12,235 --> 00:04:19,084
that you can put it inside. It gives you all kinds of opportunities. It's actually like, the mother of all apps.

51
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:22,535
You can do almost anything with this.

52
00:04:22,552 --> 00:04:26,552
I'm in love with Explain Everything.
