Although Snapguide is primarily used from an iPad, students can also use the website to create guides. There is no Android or Windows version yet. The app is available for free from the App Store.
You will need to use an email to create an account. If your students are too young to have an email address, consider creating a class account.
Check out this simple Snapguide I created in just a few minutes.

This is the main screen where you will create your guide.

- When you select Photo you can take a picture of each step of your project in one sitting. Snapguide will automatically create a card for each step. You can the rearrange the cards, tap to add text, or continue to add more steps. The picture for the title card will automatically be added from the last picture you take of the project.
