• What are your concerns about assigning students to create YouTube videos

  I am helping a friend out who makes educational YouTube videos on their iPad Pro (2018 model with USB-C) with the Explain Everything app. It's a whiteboarding app that allows you to make videos by whiteboarding and talking at the same time. Source: over 2 years ago
