What it does
Explain Everything is an online whiteboard aimed at teaching. Educators can create slide-based lessons, import existing materials, annotate a canvas, record video tutorials, and collaborate with students. The Free plan allows three projects with one slide each, videos up to three minutes, one collaborator, and 500 MB of cloud storage; paid and school plans add capacity and teaching features.
A teacher preparing a lesson can import a presentation or PDF, annotate it on the whiteboard, and record a short explanation to share with students. The product also supports live collaborative projects, making it relevant for tutoring and group assignments as well as solo lesson preparation. It is education-oriented rather than a general-purpose workshop board. The Free plan’s three-project, one-slide, three-minute-video, and 500 MB limits may constrain ongoing classes; Advanced removes several of those limits, while school pricing is customized. No board, recording, or classroom integration was tested.
