Drawp for School is a collaborative, web-based creation platform that syncs with iOS and Android devices via an app. To get started, teachers must first create an account, set up a class, and add students. Adding students automatically creates usernames and passwords to pass along to them, or teachers can create their own usernames and passwords. Students can work independently or with a peer to create original drawings or work off of an assignment shared by their teacher. Creation tools include a paint brush, sticky notes, text, and clip art. Kids and teachers can also add photos and record audio.

When finished, students can share their pictures with the teacher and other classmates, who can comment on the pictures and share them with others; kids and teachers can upload or share pictures with Dropbox and Google Drive. The Resource Marketplace also gives teachers a place to collaborate and share lesson plans. There are two tools in the library for creating assignments that support English language learning. One tool covers many of the K-5 ELA Common Core State Standards and has built-in differentiation. The other covers California's English Language Development Standards and is organized by Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels and proficiency levels. When you create an account, you can choose from a huge variety of languages.

Silver Spring, Md. (Tuesday, July 21, 2020) Discovery Education -the global leader in standards-aligned digital curriculum resources, engaging content, and professional learning for K-12 classrooms-today announced the acquisition of Spiral. Based in the United Kingdom, Spiral provides educators a multiuse platform that supports collaborative learning and formative assessment both in the classroom and the remote environment. Terms were not disclosed.

Discovery Education's acquisition of Spiral supports the company's efforts to keep students connected to learning wherever it is taking place. Spiral's product features compliment Discovery Education Experience's curated high-quality content and existing assessment and student collaboration tools. The addition of Spiral's features to the company's flexible K-12 learning platform will give educators even more ways to facilitate instruction, deepen student engagement, and create high-impact student learning experiences.

"Discovery Education is focused on providing school systems outstanding digital services that connect students to learning in and out of the classroom," said Discovery Education Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategy Philip Nanney. "The acquisition of Spiral aligns with our strategy of adding features to our digital services that save educators time and increase student engagement. We look forward to welcoming Spiral to the Discovery Education team."

Spiral is a past winner of the prestigious Common Sense Education Best EdTech Award. Recognized for empowering teachers to create interactive learning experiences either in advance or on the fly, Spiral also enables teachers to probe class understanding in real time through digital multimedia content.

Spiral is the latest acquisition by Discovery Education. In August of 2019, Discovery Education announced the purchase of Inspyro, a provider of leading virtual reality and augmented reality content also based in the United Kingdom.

"Spiral's team is incredibly excited to join Discovery Education," said Hamish Kennedy, Spiral's Founder and CEO. "Discovery Education shares our commitment to connecting students to learning no matter where they are, and we look forward to working closely on that mission with our new colleagues."

Explain Everything Whiteboard is a presentation app that can integrate content from many sources, enabling teachers and students to use it to create lessons, tutorials, and more for class or personal use. A full-featured adaptation of Explain EDU, this formidable tool is like a superhero version of PowerPoint. Users can import photos, PDF files, movies, websites, and more from iTunes, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, WebDAV, and other sources to use in a presentation. Explain Everything can also be used as a whiteboard. Tap on New Project and choose a blank project screen or import from one of many sources (you must enter your username and password information for that source on the linking screen). A white screen with tool options stacked on the left side appears, and users can begin to import content, write, and record audio or video for the presentation. Finally, save (it also autosaves) and play back the presentation. You can also split and edit your audio recordings, which is great for taking out sections without having to redo large portions of the presentation.

The subscription to this app includes the ability to sign in on a variety of devices, including iOS, Windows, and Chrome OS. It also offers Explain Drive, which provides each user cloud storage with a variety of privacy options. Explain Drive allows you to search subject areas for already completed presentations, as well.
