5 Apps for Making Movies on Mobile Devices

5 Apps for Making Movies on Mobile Devices
Every year at Hollywood award shows, we see fantastic movies celebrated for their rich storytelling and dynamic performances. Your students can become moviemakers, too, thanks to some powerful apps for mobile devices. With these tools, your children can take videos and edit their work to make professional quality movies using iOS devices (iPads and iPhones) and Android tablets. One good thing about this easy-to-use technology is that students can still use important English language arts skills like writing a narrative, planning a sequential story, and including key details when getting ready to make a movie. iMotion HD (iOS: Free, Upgrade Available) Your students can create a time-lapse or stop-motion film using this video app. iMotion HD lets kids make a movie by combining still photos. PicPlayPost (iOS: $1.99) PicPlayPost is a video and editing tool that lets users combine videos and still images into a shared frame. Magisto Video Editor & Maker (Android: Free) iMovie (iOS: $4.99)

Transformational 1:1 learning and SAMR Let us talk about the word transformational. It has cemented its place as one of the first words in any half-decent game of educational technology bingo in recent years, thanks largely to its position at the pinnacle of Dr. Ruben R. Puentedura’s much loved SAMR model (see below). It is perhaps inevitable then, that it is used misused with such alarming regularity. The SAMR model is regularly introduced to teachers (I even introduced it at my school 18 months ago) at the beginning of any mobile device initiative. One of the major issues I have with SAMR is its place in the conflict between the short and long term. Perhaps just as worryingly, many of the tools that I regularly witness have a huge effect on student learning such as Showbie and iTunes U rank only marginally above the ‘don’t bother’ stage. This leads me to the ‘technophobe’s view’ of SAMR. There is lots of genuinely transformational stuff going on in schools – the majority of it has nothing to do with technology.

SnapSchool, une application d'aide aux devoirs originale Certains de nos lecteurs ont certainement des devoirs à faire durant les vacances scolaires, même si c'est Noël ! Ne vous inquiétez pas, une nouvelle application disponible uniquement sur iPhone pour le moment permet de se faire aider pour ses devoirs quand son cerveau ne fonctionne plus très bien après avoir mangé trop de dinde ! Désactiver la lecture automatique Comme vous l'avez remarqué dans cette vidéo, l'application se destine principalement aux collégiens et aux lycéens. L'élève doit simplement prendre en photo l'exercice sur lequel il a besoin d'aide (jusqu'à 3 photos). Petite particularité, il n'est pas possible de demander de l'aide en permanence, il faut d'abord collecter des jetons en aidant les autres pour pouvoir poster de nouvelles questions. Enfin, les matières supportées sont les suivantes : allemand, anglais, droit, espagnol, français, géographie, histoire, italien, littérature, maths, philosophie, physique-chimie, sciences, SES, SVT.
