Publishing student video that is created with iPads can be a challenging process, especially with younger students. Even schools that are Google Apps typically decide to turn off YouTube uploads to the student accounts. However, with the use of a handful of free applications, students can create video content on iPad, share their creation with a teacher, and then have the teacher upload to their YouTube channel or a class YouTube channel. For the creation process, students can use any video creation app that allows the final product to be exported to the camera roll.

Once the content is in Google Drive, a teacher can access the student created video through the Google Drive app on their iPad. Creating a Classroom Studio with an iPad and a Green Screen.

Create Interactive Images With ThingLink’s New iPad App. ThingLink is one of my favorite tools that I’ve reviewed on Free Technology for Teachers.
The free service allows you to make any image interactive by adding digital pinmarks to it. Those pinmarks can include text, links, videos that are revealed when some touches those pinmarks while viewing your shared images. The service previously worked in your iPad’s web browser, but now this great service is now available as a free iPad app too. The new ThingLink iPad app allows you to import pictures from your iPad’s camera roll and or take new pictures to turn into interactive images.
