4 Great iPad Apps for Creating Educational Videos

If you're a teacher or a librarian who creates instructional materials regularly, you'll want to have a look at these great apps for the iPad that let you easily create educational videos with your tablet.

2) ShowMe

Show Me

3) iMovie

iMovie
This is a professional quality video application that lets you create beautiful HD movies and Hollywood trailers. You can choose from eight unique themes with matching titles, transitions, and music, add videos and photos from your library or shoot directly into your timeline, enhance your movie with slow motion, fast forward, picture-in-picture, and split-screen effects, and even create a soundtrack using built-in music and sound effects, songs from your iTunes library, and your own narration! This one isn't free but well worth the $4.99 if you'll be creating a lot of instructional videos.
