Some of the most innovative teachers helped create ScreenChomp with learning and idea-sharing in mind. Here's what some of them had to say:

Eric Marcos – Lincoln Elementary Math Teacher
“With just an iPad and the ScreenChomp app, everyone can create on-the-go tutorials, mathcasts, or any sort of screencast. It makes screencasting a portable option – no wonky hardware necessary.”

Randy Micallef – 8th Grade Math Teacher
“ScreenChomp will help students review ideas, and it will help me have more consistent interactions with each student. I'll also have a way to re-assess and re-test a student’s understanding of specific concepts, and keep a record of those interactions through captures.”
