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.
