iMovies in Education. iMovie has made a surge into classroom instruction, in part because of the rapid growth in the field of digital video and partly because of Apple's superior software design that offers tremendous ease for the user. Like all educational technology, desktop video editing is not a ubiquitous solution for all of the challenges teachers face in today's classroom. Teachers using digital video, in particular iMovie, have provided an abundance of anecdotal evidence for encouraging individual expression, spawning creativity, revitalizing content, promoting collective knowledge construction and individual reflection, and offering students of a variety of backgrounds and experiences to engage in authentic learning.
Digital video has been instrumental in many areas of education for empowering youth to actively shape their schooling experience.

Qik | Record and share video live from your mobile phone. At Skype, we know and love that technology continues to evolve. Today, people carry smartphones around in their pockets instead of being tethered to a desk, allowing people to stay in touch on the go.
Skype has likewise evolved to help people stay connected from anywhere on any device, and we’ve continued to see growth on Skype for mobile devices. In fact, we’re honored that Skype is consistently rated as one of the top mobile apps on iTunes, the Google Play Store and the Windows Phone Store. We’re always hard at work evolving Skype for mobile, and have continued to add new features, such as group video calling. Some of the features we’ve added might look familiar, and for good reason. In 2014, we launched Skype Qik, a mobile video messaging app to help share moments with groups of friends. Since then, we have learned that many of you are already doing these things in Skype, and as a result, we migrated some of Qik’s most used features into the Skype app you already know and love.
Sensu Artist Brush & Stylus for iPad and Touch Screen Devices. Phonecast live to the web from any phone, anywhere. Introducing Sketchshare for iPad | Blog | Computer Arts magazine. Fresh on the App Store from long-time Computer Arts collaborator Stewart Hamilton-Arrandale and Chris Wilson, Sketchshare is a multi-purpose collaborative sketching app with voice chat built in, so you can discuss, brainstorm, storyboard, edit and doodle in real-time on your iPad. While this sounds like a great way for doodle-mad mates to kill a few hours (and it doesn't disappoint on that front), the wider possibilities for creative collaborators to share ideas - as well as make early concept presentations to clients all over the world - are particularly exciting, especially for freelancers based remotely, when email, Skype and conference calls just don't quite cut it.
"Chris and I live far apart from each other, so we would use Skype all the time to chat, and then either sketch stuff in a notebook, scan and send each other the ideas, or do a quick Photoshop mockup and send that to each other," explains Hamilton-Arrandale.
