The report card
Best for recording a voice-over lesson on an iPad whiteboard
Educreations records whiteboard writing and voice on an iPad and shares the video with a class, with a free Basic plan and Pro at $8.25 a month. The free plan keeps one saved draft and 50 MB, and video export and document import need Pro.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $8.25 a month for one teacher billed yearly is the middle of the category's prices. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free Basic plan with 1 saved draft and 50 MB, a cap most teachers hit quickly. |
| Features | C | Recording, classes and sharing do the job, but it is narrow, and video export and document import need Pro. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and you build each lesson yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | iPad recording with web viewing, and Dropbox, Google Drive and YouTube links. |

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Nothing Educreations does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 5 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other whiteboard and mind map tools grade higher. It costs $99 a year.
What you could not
- An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Educreations’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
