This week's hAPPy Friday App SnAPPshot is Videolicious.
Videolicious is a free iOS app for creating videos on the go. The concept behind Videolicious is similar to that used by services like Animoto. With Videolicious on your iPhone or iPad, you can mix together images, video clips, music and your voice to create a short video.

Ms. Rollins' 4th grade went on a learning adventure as they hunted down literary elements of poetry. Ms. McLaughlin began the lesson with a discussion and Ms. Husain introduced the concept of visual note-taking. Then the detective work began! Students used their iPads to take pictures of the literary elements of poetry that they found lurking inside of the many books Ms. McLaughlin hauled in from the library. Students were encouraged to use any app they had on their iPads. Most of the students chose to use Keynote, Notability, Popplet or Pages, super detective work 4th graders!
