Educanon- Create Your Own Interactive Videos!

Using EduCannon can help teachers turn what would be passive video content into an active video lesson for students. You can choose a video from You Tube, Teacher Tube, etc. and personalize it by adding questions, lesson information, posting videos, and adding URL's.

Educanon would be a choice tool to use when a teacher is working in a Flipped or Blended Learning environment. Try it! www.educannon.com

Postagram

Send your photos as postcards. Here is a great way to stay in touch with family and friends while away. Create your postcard by adding a message and a photo (from your phone, computer, Instagram or Facebook). The postcards are printed on glossy paper-99¢ for US delivery and $1.99 for outside the US. The photo is a 3x3 print that can be taken off the postcard and displayed.
There is also a Postagram App. http://postagramapp.com/ Check it out!

Have you searched for hours and hours looking for an App to use in your classroom, only to get side tracked by another link that looked interesting. If you can relate, then you should check out Quixey. It is a search engine for apps. You can choose from 5 platforms to help narrow your search. Once you search, you get all the information about the apps, as well as screen shots of the app and the cost.

eduClipper - clip anything. share everything

eduClipper is a visual bookmarking tool. You can use the eduClipper bookmarklet to add "clips" (bookmarks) to your eduClipper boards. But eduClipper is much more than a visual bookmarking service. You can add PowerPoint, PDF, and image files to your boards. You can also add links to videos to your boards. You can play the videos without leaving your eduClipper board. You can also add Google Drive files to any of your boards.

You can create class boards to share with your students and they can share boards with you. As a teacher you can create classes in your eduClipper account. When you create a class you will be given an access code that your students can use to join your class. Alternatively, you can directly add students to your class boards through your eduClipper account. As the teacher you have complete control over the content that is shared and the comments written on each board.

eduClipper is also available as an app in the iTunes store.
