Anyone who has followed this blog for any length of time, knows that I love my iPads due to the creativity that the devices allow students to show. I am passionate about students creating content rather than just consuming it and the more innovative that they can be while demonstrating their knowledge, the more I love it! Educreations allows for just that...it is like a blank sheet of paper just waiting for the artist to begin.In this project, students show what they know and help others in the process. The details below include a task, a tutorial, and a rubric for the creation of math videos using the screen recorder. In this activity, students will assume the role of an online course developer and create a screencast using Educreations, an app that is easy to use and 100% reliable in uploading and sharing work.
Overview: "For the past nine years the Sloan Consortium and the Babson Survey Research Group have taken a look at the state of online learning in the United States. The 2011 survey reveals that the number of students learning online has now surpassed six million, with nearly one-third of all students in higher education taking at least one online course. Last year’s annual survey revealed the largest ever year-to-year increase in online enrollment since the study began eight years ago." - Going the Distance
"Online learning has numerous benefits, including expanding course offerings, customizing and personalizing learning, giving struggling students a second chance to master a subject through online credit recovery when they fall behind, and providing a rigorous, interactive learning model. Online learning is providing the content and integration of digital tools for portable and mobile learning opportunities." - iNACOL

Hi! That's a cool activity for students to show their knowledge, skills, and qualification! My college also assigns students to show their knowldge but in a form of essays. I hate writing essays and usually look for academic writing services in UK. There I order college papers and experience no problems with tests! Still, I would like to try such form of the check and collaborate with tutors. It would be ridiculous but cool!
