Course Description

How to Enhance and Transform Student Learning using Explain Everything!


(Part of the Digital Learning in Physical Education Series)


The use of digital technology to enhance and transform teaching and learning is growing rapidly. In this free course you'll learn how to make the best use of Explain Everything to maximise your students' learning.

Explain Everything is a popular and powerful whiteboard application which is used the world over by teachers and students in order to enhance learning.

In this course, we'll start with a general overview of what Explain Everything has to offer and then we'll dive in and look more specifically at the great ways in which you and your students can use Explain Everything in more detail to really enhance learning.

Whether you have used Explain Everything before or not, you'll learn so much about this fantastically versatile app.


The importance of pedagogy


As well as looking at what can be done with Explain Everything, we'll also consider pedagogy and how Explain Everything can be used best for teaching and learning in your specific context.

As always, bear in mind that teaching and learning must be first and foremost in determining our approach, rather than putting the technology first and trying to fit teaching and learning around it.

I'm looking forward to you joining me as we discover the power of Explain Everything together on this course.
