What a Way to Start the Day!

The students of 5B started our day by skypeing with none other than Mr. Reshan Richards, the creator of Explain Everything!  He was so wonderful to politely answer a ton of questions, hear comments of how students use the app, and even take suggestions 🙂

The students were so excited when he took his laptop to the window to show them how much snow had fallen over night.  The oohs and aahs were audible…Mr. Richards said that its not that interesting to them.  We shared that the only place we have snow on our island is atop Mauna Kea…which is covered with the white stuff from all the showers last night, but that’s at the 13,000 ft. elevation.

Mr. Richards then shared some tips and tricks with the students…he shared how he could rotate the earth around a pic of the sun, rotate all kinds of other objects, & even how to bring gifs into Explain Everything.  We shared that this great app is our foundation app to app-smash!  We love it…and now we love Reshan Richards!  Mahalo for diving into our FISH!bowl today! Stay tuned, we’ll be making tutorials of our new learning after student-led conferences!  (Early next week 🙂 )  Great photos by Kaulana!  Mahalo Miss Shonnie for making contact and building pilina w/Reshan at the ipad Summit in San Diego!
