It is that time of year when teachers can receive iTunes gift cards from families and I often get asked, "What is a paid app that I believe is worth the money?" Below are my top 3 favorite paid creation apps.
#1 do ink green screen~hands down my Favorite
This app is a MUST have for every teacher no matter the grade or content...
Green Screen by Do Ink makes it easy to create incredible green screen videos and photos. Classroom-tested by kids and teachers, this app emphasizes ease-of-use and simplicity while still enabling fantastic results. With Green Screen by Do Ink, you can tell a story, explain an idea, and express yourself in truly creative and unique ways. You know what a "green screen" effect is, right? It's used in the movies to make it look like the actors have landed on an alien planet, and it's used on TV to make it look like your local news announcer is standing in front of a weather map. The green screen effect works by combining images from multiple sources into a single video. These images can come from photos or videos in your camera roll, or from the live video camera. #2 faces i make app
