My Favorite Video Creation iPad Apps for Elementary School - Via Richard Bryne.
Adobe Spark Now Lets You Insert Videos into Your Videos - The best keeps getting better. I love this app for simplicity and ease of use! Both web and app based.
Google Forms -- Don't get caught in this situation! Google forms do not have revision history or undo options like most of the Google products. When you create a new Google Form, a spreadsheet is not automatically created, so the data is just stored in Google forms. Make a spreadsheet right away to have all of your form data written too! Without this, if you delete a question... all of the associated responses are deleted... since they were not written to a spreadsheet. (This recently happened to one of our staff members, so I hate sharing this tip based on bad news.... but don't let it happen to you.)
Kahn Acadamy - NEW - We’re excited to bring you our newest subject — Grammar! We created Grammar to help both native and non-native English speakers at all levels. In the new course, our resident grammarian, David, and our team of grammar experts explain punctuation, parts of speech, style and usage, and Standard American English conventions. As with our other subjects, students can review topics and work on practice exercises if they need some extra help outside of class. We hope you’ll check out our new videos, articles, and exercises and share them with your students if you find them helpful. If you are not familiar with Kahn Acadamy... you need to be! It's an amazing free resource for teachers, parents, and students!
