Videolicious allows users to create videos without having significant editing expertise. Users choose from videos and photos stored on their iPad, place them in order and then stitch together that media. It enables them to use transitions, visual effects, and logos. Once users have picked the media they want to use, all they have to do is tap the videos while narrating over them, and they can later add soundtracks.

Educreations is not the first app to use the whiteboard concept, but it is the first one geared specifically for the classroom.Educreations wants to give the teacher the opportunity to create what Sal Khan (Khan Academy) has been doing for years.The designers thought of simple features and being user-friendlyTurns any iPad into a recordable, interactive whiteboard, making it easy for teachers and experts to create engaging video lessons and share them on the web.Lessons can be played anytime, anywhere , on any connected device.
1. Tap record, then write on the whiteboard as you explain your idea.
Educreations had the wherewithal to realize the need to add the option to use multiple pages for the same lesson; this is another feature that makes this app a standout. You can easily add photos from your camera, iPhoto Library, or from a Dropbox account. The additional features that are included in this app are truly well thought out, and again – easy to use. When you are feeling brave, you can try moving, tapping, dragging, and resizing images while you’re recording to simulate animation. Your finished lessons are hosted oneducreations.com, where you have the option to share privately or publicly. You can also email, twitter, or share your lesson on Facebook.
Popplet allows for a collaborative mind-mapping experience. The popplet map that arises lends itself very much to working with vocabulary as it resembles the mental map we use to arrange, understand and store words in our brain. It helps you remember new information and make connections between ideas.It allows you to create interactive, multimedia graphic organizers that you can share and collaborate with others. You can create galleries, record thoughts, explore ideas and collaborate together. Because it is visual, it is a lot easier for kids (and adults) to understand and remember the information. Because you can make changes as you go, an adult can make a Popplet together with a child to gain more engagement from the child in the activity and to more easily incorporate the child’s input.http://popplet.com/app/index.php#/356908 – the futurehttp://popplet.com/app/index.php#/267618
