**If you are unfamiliar with this project, check out my first post introducing my pilot project with LearnPads and comparing them to iPads. **Correction--after posting this, I got some feedback and wanted to clarify. This post would be a better reflection on the Lensoo and Educreations apps. I said the iPad is the winner based on how the two devices and apps are being used in my 1st grade classroom. I don't want to throw either device under the bus but want to show case which tablet I would favor during certain activities in my classroom. *Educreations is available on the LearnPad. However, it is not an app. It is the web version of their interactive whiteboard. You are unable to insert images from Dropbox like you can from the app. Also, you can't resize images on the web version of Educreations. If Educreations had an app for Android that functioned the same as the IOS app, the LearnPad/iPad would be a tie in my classroom for screencasting. One of my goals when integrating a tablet into my classroom has been to push what is possible with the tablet as a creation device. While we do our share of consumption, we continue to focus on creation. One tool that we have been using is the ability to screen cast in order to show case our learning. It allows us to create digital artifacts of our learning adventure. I am comparing the LearnPad and iPad's ability to screencast. The apps are different on each device, but they both function almost the same. There are a few features on the iPad that put it ahead of the LearnPad. I highlighted some key similarities and differences below. There is a video at the bottom of this post that shows each app/tablet in action and how they compare when it comes to screencasting. LearnPad and the lensoo app Lensoo is an app that allows your Android device to become an interactive whiteboard. Similarities to iPad
