What tools you use are missing from this list?

I sat down this afternoon to brainstorm a list of video editing, creation and mashup apps that could be useful for educators. Above you’ll find the nine I came up with off the top of my head, all of which I’ve either used or seen used in the classroom. But I know I’m missing some.

Here are some sample lesson plans or how-to’s for each of the video apps above:

• DragonTape: Mixing YouTube in the Classroom

 

• iMotion: Using iMotion to illustrate the water cycle:
  

 

 

• Vine: Orchard School votes on the #MockCaldecott awards via Vine

 

 

• iMovie: Essex Middle School Edge students use it to make book trailers:

 

• Touchcast: Peoples Academy Middle Level 8th graders made STEM-focused Touchcasts to illustrate distance over time:

 

• ReelDirector: How about a video story of one classroom’s activities?

 

• Explain Everything: Harwood Union Middle School students used Explain Everything to make short how-to videos for iMovie and Google Drive for their peers (bonus ourobouros points for hitting iMovie inside another video app)

 

• ETA: Also, Animoto! These 5th graders made their #MockCaldecott book trailers with Animoto

 

And this educator handed over the iPad to her own kids, asked for a stop-motion video and was astonished by how many apps they wound up using to create their magnum opus, Invasion:

What video creation / editing / mashup / squish / bash / remix tools are you and your students using?
