No more mirroring the iPad onto the TV set using AppleTV and using a video camera to record the process! Here is a quick, no audio screencast I recently made using Reflector and a screencasting tool. The more important bonus for the classroom setting is that the Mac computer (running Mac 10.6.8 or Windows XP or better) can be hooked up to the LCD projector or whiteboard projector the typical way (usually VGA or DVI).

13 Ways To Use iMovie In The Classroom Is there an app for that? Well, chances are there are dozens of apps for anything you want to do, but sometimes you find one app that is robust enough to have multiples uses for you and your students. For me, iMovie is that app. I find myself using it for everything from slow motion videography to documentation, to presentations and everything in-between. Below are 13 ways that I have used iMovie (or have heard of others using iMovie) with students to enhance learning. Documentation: Use the camera and microphone to record student work and performances. Peer Feedback: Use video as a great medium to get students to begin to provide each other with feedback. Self Reflection: Students learning to be self aware and provide self-feedback is one of the most effective things we can teach our students. Creating Movies: Youtube is the most popular and powerful search engine for kids, it is how they communicate. Professional Growth: Even as teachers, we can be using iMovie to learn.
