Did you find another helpful video or resource to help explain this App?
There are several YouTube videos that are very good tutorials for Educreations.
I have used this app with my class and it was a huge success. I had my students each create a video on how to set up and solve a particular math problem. It was a great way for them to walk me through their thinking process. I was then able to give specific feedback to them on where they had misconceptions or mistakes in their thinking.
