I participated in the Technology in Transit event organized by the Educational Technology Support staff of the UBC Education department. The intent of the event was to showcase a technology-related project that could be used to enhance student learning in the classroom. I chose to showcase Explain Everything as I had recently created an educational video about the evolution of a flatworm with the app, and incorporated the app in my practicum classroom. I wrote a brief description of the app and a bio for the ETS website, and created a handout for students and staff (Explain Everything handout)
The event consisted of presenting the app’s functionality and demonstrating several potential uses in the classroom to student passerbys during lunchtime in the Education building at UBC. Several staff members showed a keen interest in the app’s abilities, and many students took copies of the handout. At the end of the event, I was awarded with a certificate of participation.
