Easily create videos in the classroom! Students as young as five can make videos to tell stories, explain ideas, or document their learning. Similar to the Explain Everything app, Shadow Puppet EDU lets you put together photos, images, and videos into one neat video (up to 30 minutes) where you can overlay text, add audio or music, and other annotations. Did I mention that it’s completely free?
