I think I Have a New Favorite...

App for the iPad! It's really difficult for me to commit to saying I have a "favorite," but right now Shadow Puppet EDU is the winner! I am thinking of so many uses for it!

In a nutshell, Shadow Puppet allows you to create a slideshow very easily and quickly. Features of Shadow Puppet that I love:

• You can add photos and video clips
• You can overlay text
• You can draw on the screen as you're recording with an emoji or a "magic wand" (This is my favorite part!!)

Here is a video created with Shadow Puppet, demonstrating how to use Shadow Puppet:

I've been looking for a good "slideshow" app for awhile - one that was user-friendly, that didn't have "hiccups" and worked seamlessly. I've had great luck with this app! Also, be sure to look for the magic wand feature - definitely something sets this app above from the rest - IMO, of course:)

Check out the Shadow Puppet EDU website sometime. There are lesson plan ideas, sample projects, etc. You can also follow Shadow Puppet EDU on Twitter - @puppet. I've tweeted a couple of times about the app and they always reply or mention it on Twitter.
