I love Educreations. It is so flexible and has many possible applications, not just for screen casting lessons in an online or virtual course. While there are a few things it'd be nice for the developer to add, it is FREE, with no in-app purchases or ads. I posted a rudimentary review of it by actually using the app (it was just my second try using it, so I was still learning how to operate it as I went.) Check out my demo/review at http://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/app-review-educreations/647310/

Hi there,
You have great apps...how can I join?
Also as I was out of town yesterday... I was wondering if you would allow me to download the math dictionary for free...I teach on a native reserve and find that they would definitely benefit from the app.
Thank you.
Sam

Sam:
Once an app goes back to not-being-free, I can't change it. That's up to the developer. Have you signed up to hear about the apps as they go free? http://bit.ly/HVLRd0

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually one thing that I feel I'd by no means understand. It sort of feels too complicated and very broad for me.
