Source: By Educreations, Inc.
Reference: https://www.educreations.com/ The App can be downloaded on the iTunes App Store. Cost: Free Description of usage: Teachers can create and save colorful lessons and record their voice using the unique educreation tools. Pro: You can press pause during recording between slides. Additionally, you can add pictures and text to your educreation lesson, and draw in different colors. Con: The app does not allow you to fix recording mistakes.

*Visual Support: Strategy for Adding the Fast Way
Source/reference: Teacher made using Educreations.
Context Description: This visual support strategy will be used to teach addition the fast way. Pro: The visual representation of the lines drawn for the quantity of the second addend is helpful to students. Con: This four step strategy would be an ineffective strategy when the second added is a large number because drawing lines for a large number would be too time consuming. Additionally, it would be easy to make mistakes (i.e. 20). |
