Check out these Educreation monster drawings by elementary students. Have students use apps like Puppet Pals , Toontastic , Sock Puppets , Buddy Poke Pro (iOS/Android), Voxer (iOS/Android), or Piiig Walkie Talkie (for elementary) to practice role plays. Click to access that resource! Students do not reveal their drawings.
Record lessons that students can access anytime, anywhere. I’ve started for you by noting cost, what digital devices they work best on, and suggested age group: Educreations . Educreations is a virtual whiteboard for direct teaching or explanations, complete with colored ink choices and the ability to import images.
Additionally, a principal at one of our elementaries had secured funding to purchase an iPad for each of his teachers. We wanted the training resources to be readily available to our teachers on an ongoing basis without the need for a password to access them, so they are posted on our public website (see links above).
Educreations is similar to ShowMe because it too functions as an interactive whiteboard and is easy to use. However, Educreations allows you to add pages to the presentation and different types of paper, but it does not have an erasor (it uses "undo" instead). It is an iPad app that can also be accessed from your browser.

The biggest limitation for younger students is finding materials written at an accessible reading level, but this can be overcome by focusing more on videos and finding books with a "read to me" feature. For elementary school-age students, I recommend looking for ebooks at Epic! -- Unlimited Books for Kids and Zing!,

BookFlix is a tool Langenhorst uses to get lower elementary level students interested in non-fiction. Educreations is another presentation tool that can aid in flipping the classroom or letting kids explain their thinking. Educreations allows students to record their voice, draw and import pictures,” Langenhorst said.
