360° VIDEO

We create high-quality stabilized video having 8k and 4k resolution, 48 or 24 frames per second together with high-quality post-processing. Videos are supported by the most advanced technologies, such as virtual reality headsets (including Samsung Gear VR), different electronic devices and YouTube channels.

We use different types of moving and fixed objects (tripods, monopods, cars, helicopters, building cranes, etc.) to record videos. For aerial shooting we usually use drones with fully gyro-stabilized unique suspension. Panoramic video covers up all the space around the camera 360x180 degrees without black spots at both nadir and zenith viewing angle.

360° videos are available in any format you choose: .mp4, .avi, .mov, etc. All the videos are made and kept in frames, making it possible to encode them into any available format and bitrate with the resolution up to 8k.

Whether you are in a high risk zone or not, you may need flood insurance because most homeowners insurance doesn't cover flood damage. If you live in an area with low or moderate flood risk, you are 5 times more likely to experience flood than a fire in your home over the next 30 years. For many, a National Flood Insurance Program's flood insurance policy could cost less than $400 per year. Call your insurance agent today and protect what you've built.

Our solar system was doing just fine without humanity for 99.995% of its lifetime

Our Solar System is quite "young", at least as far as solar systems go. Using radiometric dating, scientists were able to determine that most of its ingredients, including the sun and the planets, are just over 4.6 billion years old (while one of the oldest stars detected is a ripe 13.6 billion years old.) By comparison, humans have been around for a "mere" 200 thousand years, a barely noticeable spec in the vastness of Solar System's lifespan.

Our Sun contains 99.86% of the Solar System's known mass

The mass of the Sun is 1.989 × 10 ³⁰ kg when all the planets combined are only 2.66 x 10 ²⁷ kg.

The hottest planet is actually not the one closest to the sun

Although Mercury is the planet nearest to the Sun, it's actually only the second hottest planet, following Venus. Why? Mercury is tiny and doesn't have any atmosphere, which under normal circumstances traps and holds heat. Any heat that Mercury receives from the sun quickly dissipates back into space. Venus on the other hand is very close in size to Earth and viewing it has been difficult due to a very thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide. This thick atmosphere, coupled with its close proximity to the sun, makes the surface of Venus hotter because the heat has a harder time escaping back into space.

Pluto is smaller than the USA

USA

Horizontal Width: 2,680 miles

Vertical Length: 1,582 miles

vs

Pluto

Radius: 736.9 mi

We are all citizens of the Sun

Planets can be categorized into 3 groupings, each at different proximity to the sun

The inner planets (also known as terrestrial planets) are smaller and made primarily of rock and metal.

The outer planets can be further categorized into two sub-classes - gas giants and ice giants. These are much larger and further away from the sun:

The gas giants primarily consist of lighter gasses, higher up on the periodic table (e.g. H and He.)

The ice giants contain gases heavier than those that make up gas giants, e.g. O, C, N, S and located at the outer rim of our solar system.

Version 17.1.0

- Enhanced Milky Way model
- Optional Gaia add-on which shows stars from the data release 1 (Gaia DR1 TGAS)
- Optimized for iPhone X

Exceeded Expectations!

This complex app, Exoplanet, is an extremely educational free app made for iOS (version 17.1.0). It is designed to provide interactive visualizations and animations in order to share information on all known exoplanets. An exoplanet is a planet orbiting stars beyond our own Solar System.

This app is designed for anyone ages 4 and up. Exoplanet is advertised as extremely accurate and anyone using it can be assured that they can rely on its data having been developed and maintained by a professional astronomer.

The app is also visually pleasing. For instance, if the milky way option is selected you are given a wonderful visualization of the Milky Way galaxy with labels to include the Sun. You can zoom in or search for any star, constellation, or planet and it will show you the location of the searched star or planet and along with its surroundings.

This app is chalked full of information! You can choose any planet and it will give you information such as the mass, radius, density, orbital period, and more! This app would be great for projects or research because it provides information on the Milky Way, extrasolar planets, spacecrafts, asteroids, galaxy clusters, and cosmic microwave background. The more I researched it the more I realized that this app exceeded my expectations! If you're looking for an intriguing app full of information about space, Exoplanet is for you!

What an amazing view!

I've enjoyed this app for several years and regularly use it to show my friends around the solar system, galaxy, and universe. The number and variety of exoplanets found so far is amazing and I love wandering the database looking for new and interesting systems. Some of my favorite usually include Jupiter size planets that are in comet like orbits. I know they are horrible on the chance of life but they gotta look cool. Screaming in at huge speeds whipping through perigee with crazy chemistry boiling away and the solar winds stripping the lighter stuff off in what must occasionally be an amazing tail!
Anyways, check out the app.

Needs Textures

This is a fantastic app. Over all of the years I have had it, I never once deleted it because it is always expanding. The great thing about this app is that it gives you such a great picture of the known universe. In my opinion, the in app purchases are a must, and exponentially increase the capabilities of the app. The one thing I would like to see is textures added to the planets. It disappoints me that every planet is just a ball with a name on it. If you made a dozen or so textures for different types of planets the app would be much more engaging, and the solar systems would look much more alive without being unrealistic. Make some textures and I will give you five stars.

- Fixed occasional crash when selecting constellations, either from search or by directly tapping on them.
- Star Chart now understands that Pluto has 5 moons, not 4.
- When running in an English variant other than US English, planet/moon order text was not displaying correctly.

Absolutely Great!!!!!

This is one of those app's that you know you got your money's worth and a lot more!! It gives you so much information about the heavens above, I really like being able to identify the constellations and the planets and being able to read the information about them, really great stuff. Another nice thing is that you can have it let you know of up and coming celestial events such as meteor shower, it'll let you know the where and when of the event. It'll tell you about planet conjunctions and so much more!!!!!!! If your looking for an app about the sky's this is the one you want, I've showed this app to friends and family and once I have it's not very long or it's right then that they're downloading it to their devices. Get it so you can show off your knowledge of the night sky's. It even shows you what's in the sky on the other side of the Earth!!!!!

Buggy

This used to be one of my favorite apps-- I've memorized just about every (visible) star in the summer sky thanks to it. When I first downloaded it a little over two years ago, looking at the stars quickly became one of my favorite pastimes. The Messier catalogue and all of the extra information on stars, planets, constellations, etc. is pretty expansive, even without the upgrade packages-- there is a TON of information available, all for free. This app is awesome!
However, lately (I started noticing it a few months ago), the feature that allows you to point your phone at the sky and see it on your screen has been so buggy it's impossible to use. When I try to do this, the portion of the sky that shows is about 100 degrees off from the real sky, and shows at the wrong angle (the horizon line is almost vertical). The calibration screen will pop up for a split second and then go back to the sky chart before I have a chance to do anything. Those two screens will cycle until I stop it switching back to
manual scroll.
I really wish this bug would be fixed-- this is the best feature of the app, in my opinion! The app is still great but definitely not as fun without that feature.

Annoying to use

This app has beautiful displays of constellations and stars. The night mode is a nice feature to keep your night vision, with that, the displays go to red on black. For identifying what stars you see in the night sky, I found this app to be difficult to use. First, it could not use my iPad's GPS to identify my exact location, so I had to set that manually, and the closest I could set it was about 50 miles away. You can only set it on population centers, which of course, are not good for star gazing because of the ground light. Second, you point it at a section of sky, and it shows you the stars and constellations in that section of sky, but of course, you have now blocked your view of the sky in that location, so you have to do this up and down movement trying to match what you see on the iPad to what you see in the sky. It does not use your device's camera to actually view stars as Sky View Free does. Finally, the most annoying feature of this app is it is constantly offering you further information and when you click on that offer it says, "You have to upgrade for that information, that will be $9.95". Sky View Free is a better free app for occasional star gazing.

If you had the power, how would you create the solar system? What would be the size of each planet or star? And how would you place them in orbit? If you are interested in Astronomy and looking for a powerful yet easy to use 3 dimensional space sand box app to create and simulate a whole new galaxy with realistic physics rules, then you've come to the right place. My Pocket Galaxy, the 3D sand box game, provides you the ultimate power to explore the infinite space and simulate your own space full of different planets, gas giants, and stars.
In this gravity simulator app, you get to customize literally any aspect of these particles to simulate and design your very own solar system in this sand box. Once you are satisfied with your customized solar system (or any other combination of particles, planets, and stars), you get to easily add it to your collection, take a screenshot and share it with the world.
The game comes with a clean and neat design and the 3D simulation is so smooth that you won't feel any difficulties or lags when bombarding your planets, or applying any condition to them. And make sure not to take the realistic gravity lensing effect as granted when looking at a black hole. It's just fascinating.

Is this Orbit Sandbox Easy to Use?
Is this 3D galaxy sand box with realistic physics simulation powerful enough to create and design different planets, gas giants and stars? The answer is a BIG yes! But are the simulation tools easy to use? The answer is even a BIGGER yes! The user interface is so friendly, that you'll get used to it after going through the step-by-step tutorial and trying available tools for a few times. After that, you just need to use your imagination and be creative to form some unique pocket galaxies with gravity simulator based on physics rules. If you are going to redesign our lovely solar system in our galaxy, you'll have access to all the planets (mars, moon, earth, mercury etc ...) and you have the power to unlock new worlds by meeting the right conditions, colliding with the right objects, and altering mass and sea level while keeping the temperature stable. To smash stuff together and create new planets, make sure to crash the right ones together.
Tip: To raise the sea level, hit a planet with ice meteors, and use rock meteors to lower the sea level.
Orbit Sandbox Main Features at a Glance:
* Wonderful 3D graphics with smooth space simulation
* Super user-friendly interface with easy to learn gameplay
* Step-by-step and detailed tutorial
* Huge variety of particles, procedural planets, gas giants and stars

A special night mode helps you read the map in the dark, while integrated weather reports show the best times for stargazing. You can even have notifications alert you to future astronomical events.

Pure Universal Magic

I love this app especially the X-ray and other Light options, for just because our optical human eyes see things a certain way doesn't make that all there is. Even other animals from our very same Mother Earth see Ultraviolet light and other aspects of the light spectrum. To paraphrase Nikola Tesla(and other great genius cosmonauts): The Universe is not dark empty space but rather Energy and Light as the Aether is everywhere. Just because we can't see these aspects of the spectrum through your average telescope doesn't make them unreal. So Thank You especially for putting the X-ray and other light options in your app, it's very Awesome to be able to see these things with the physical eyes as well. Some of us are still only using our two outer eyes and forget to use all three. As the Mind's Eye, the Third Eye- the pineal gland, is very real; fully functional in those who seek it, and can help us to experience the true nature of the Universes inside and outside. Especially when we keep the protection of the Universal Creator in our minds and hearts before traveling. Universal Love to Everything and Everyone- as from my(and many others) perspectives We Are All One. For the Entire Universe(in and outside) is always here with All of Us.

Thank you for your review! Happy stargazing!

Put the universe in your pocket!

The NightSky app is astronomy at your finger tips on your tablet or phone. It gives easy access to view the planets and a multitude of other objects in our night sky and their orbits. Just match up objects on the app with the actual object in the night sky and the night sky becomes perfectly clear to pinpoint other objects of interest. It's like a road map! I found, starting with Jupiter, I can find other stars an objects much easier.
The "Glass constellations" feature, gives perspective to the stars positions and their relationships to each constellation...amazing! The effects you have at your fingertips to view deep space, the sky view in dark rural places as opposed to suburban viewing with ambient light pollution, helps a beginner to easily identify objects. I was enthralled to see the orbits of satellites, like the International Space Station and other monitoring devices and space stations orbit earth in real time! The information about stars along with being able to pull objects right out of the sky, turn those objects on their axis and read information about them, is absolutely impressive. A must for classroom teachers and a joy for amateur astronomers! NightSky app measures up to, and exceeds my every expectation!

Thank you for your review! Happy stargazing!

"With the Star Walk app, if you hold your iPod up towards the sky, you can see all the stars and constellations. It even tells you the names of all the planets. Then, if you point it towards the ground, it shows you what all the stars are in the other hemisphere. It's brilliant, and if you're ever somewhere with a clear sky and no light pollution, it's a revelation. It's beautifully designed and makes clever use of the available technology. I'm fascinated by astronomy, but even if you're not, give this a go."
Nick Rhodes, at Daily Mail

Spot over 200,000 stars, planets, constellations, and satellites in the night sky.

As you move your device, the star map updates in real time.

Made me a Stargazer

This app is great, especially for camping trips or beach weekends when the stars look really nice. I've been trying to teach myself to identify constellations for the last few years, and this app has helped a ton. Looking at the stars is so much more fun when you know what they are! The only problem I've ever run into is the automatic location service/orientation messes up in areas I have bad signal, but it's easy to fix with the manual world map. I've had many memorable nights laying on the ground with friends enjoying the beauty of the cosmos because of this app!

No restore option on iPhone.

So, I love what the app does. The issue I have is that when I bought my new iPhone, it wants me to pay for the full version again. The window pops up to restore it, but when you click the restore button, the window just vanishes and nothing happens. But ok that same window, if you click the purchase button, boy does that one work. Emailing "support" does nothing. Zero response after several attempts. It's not that I'm a cheap person, and it's not an outrageous price, but it's just the fact that the option that is made to look like you can restore your purchase is basically a hoax. So, if you don't mind paying for the full version every time you get a new device or you don't plan on getting a new device, then this app is for you. But if you don't like having to pay for it over and over every time you get a new phone or tablet, then it's a better choice to look for a different app. There's plenty of others that do restore your purchase when you switch devices that are on par with this app. If in the unlikely case my purchase is restored and I can use the full version on my new phone, I will give the five stars back that I gave when I installed it on my first device that I had the full version after paying the small fee. But I will not be forced to purchase the full version over and over, and I will not be paying for it again. If you would like your five stars back, restore my purchase and I will gladly give you back your five star rating.

The kid loves it!

When our young one saw it on, we were headed home. She asked what is that, we told her . This is star tracker, can I look at it. The rest of the ride home was question of what's this, and what can I find for you. I tried to explain the stars in Orion's Belt, that they were twenty times the size of our sun. She needed time to think of about that, needless to say she loved it. Thank you for the help, I hope our little one stick with it!. Thanks again!, J T .

Divergent Boundary

A divergent (or spreading) boundary occurs where two plates move apart. Magma, or molten rock, rises from Earth's interior to fill the gap.

Earth's longest mountain range is an underwater chain 40,000 miles (65,000 km) long. It runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (surfacing at Iceland), around Africa, through the Indian Ocean, between Australia and Antarctica, and north through the Pacific Ocean. Along the top of this ocean ridge is a deep crack, called a rift valley. Here, magma wells up from Earth's interior. Cooled by the sea, it solidifies into rock, creating new ocean floor.

In the North Atlantic ridge, 0.75 inches (2 cm) of new floor is created each year. In the East Pacific rise, the rate is 12.5 inches (32 cm) per year.

An interactive Punnett Square calculator to work out patterns of inheritance for any autosomal recessive genetic trait or disease.

Use this Punnett square as a tool to work out patterns of autosomal recessive inheritance. Drag and drop an icon from the top for the mother and the father, based on whether they are affected, unaffected, or carriers of a trait or disease. Customize the Punnett square by selecting a letter from the alphabet on the right. Tap MATE and see all possible gene combinations for offspring based on the parents�€™ genes. A recessive trait/disease results when offspring inherit two copies of a recessive gene (a) �€" one from each parent. In this case, 1 of 4 possible gene combinations is aa, so 25% of offspring will have the trait/disease. Aa offspring (50%) have one dominant and one recessive gene; they will not have the trait/disease but are �€œcarriers�€� of the recessive gene. An AA offspring does not have the trait/disease. There is no possibility of passing on a recessive gene (a) to the next generation. An Aa offspring does not have the trait/disease, but is a �€œhealthy carrier�€� with one copy of the recessive gene (a) that may be passed on to the next generation. An aa offspring has the trait/disease, and will pass the recessive gene (a) on to the next generation. Tap OFFSPRING again to see which of the four possible gene combinations may occur for another pregnancy.

Detailed Description

Earthquake hazard map showing peak ground accelerations having a 2 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years, for a firm rock site. The map is based on the most recent USGS models for the conterminous U.S. (2018), Hawaii (1998), and Alaska (2007). The models are based on seismicity and fault-slip rates, and take into account the frequency of earthquakes of various magnitudes. Locally, the hazard may be greater than shown, because site geology may amplify ground motions.

How does the app work?

The app alerts you and your family that shaking is coming.

The app will send out alerts when the shaking is damaging after a magnitude 4.5 earthquake. The Alert will be sent out to anyone will experience intensity 3 (light) shaking.

In addition to sending earthquake alerts, what does the app do?

The app allows you to participate in research to find ways to make earthquake early warning better than it can be with just traditional seismic sensors.

The app uses your phone to like a mini seismometer capitalizing on the accelerometer that allows the image on your screen to rotate when you move the phone vertically and horizontally.

How can I get it?

The application is available now for free in the App Store and on Google Play.

Exactly how does this work?

Collect - when your phone is stationary, the app is ready to collect data from its motion sensors.

Detect - the app uses machine learning to decide which motion is produced by earthquakes and which isn't

Record - when the app detects an earthquake, its network of phones records (and securely stores) the shaking to collect valuable data.

Just a reminder... The app uses you phones general location to determine which phones receive alerts, so it is important to enable location services

The phone also allows people to crowd source valuable information about how much shaking people felt and damage they see around them following an earthquake.

Version 3.2.3

Fixed push notification issue for iOS 13.
Minor bug fixes and enhancements.

Local quake

I felt a mild "bump" not a shake, wondered what caused it. Right away came the info, a smaller number than I suspected. I was grateful that no damage was done, which was why the intensity was low even though I definitely felt it, it was closer than most.
I watch the very low intensity quakes, a lot of them lately, wondering what causes them. I'm in a low fault zone so not concerned about a "big one". This info helps keep us aware, to be prepared where we are.

Ever Ready,

Living on the W. Coast and close to the ocean is not without it's dangers. Waves arrive endlessly. With that being said having fair warning gives us a chance to head for higher ground with this app. It is a requirement we have for our safety and the safety of others who don't have this app. The big one poises a threat and is predicted to come at anytime, this app. should be in everyone's phone. Thank you. des

Premium bug again.

Hey Slava,

Things aren't correct again, premium feature defaults to the subscription page. The notifications aren't working. I lowered the settings mag 1 to match other quake apps, they notify, this one doesn't. I live with eartquakes on a daily basis in Alaska. I felt a 3.4m in Big Lake as of writing this, didn't notify me🧐

Thanks

Students can choose from several options to create their own comics.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In the days of cold, hard newsprint, only people who could draw were successful comic strip authors. In some cases, this resulted in comic strips that had very nice pictures, but weren't all that funny (cough, Blondie). Thankfully, the Internet has taught us not to accept an inferior form of comic artistry, but a more flexible one.

Comic strip enthusiasts who want funny but don't care about pretty drawing can have their strips, those who want artistry have theirs, and even those with very specific tastes can find something just right.

The best part about these developments is that they allow you, regardless of any talent as an artist or comedian, to create your very own comic strip. Depending on what you're going for, you can use one of these six sites to help you do it.

MakeBeliefsComix.com is easy enough for children to use, but there are enough options for adults to get a message across, too. Users can choose from 25 characters to fill a two-, three-, or four-paneled comic strip. Currently, the site supports typing in seven different languages. There are plans to add Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters in the future.

One limiting factor is color. Though you can choose a background color, the characters remain black and white. If you're planning on printing your comic strip, this could be a good opportunity to pull out the old-fashioned box of crayons. But if you're planning on sharing it online, it's a bit restricting.

The pre-set options that make the site so easy to use can also be slightly limiting. Your comic strips will look pretty generic. There are only about four different expressions for each character. The upside of this is that you can finish a perfectly respectable online comic in about 10 minutes.

The creator, Bill Zimmerman, is the author of 18 books - including Make Beliefs: A Gift For Your Imagination. "My hope is that by giving you a choice of characters with different moods and the chance to write words and thoughts for them," he writes on the site, "you will tap into your creativity and explore new possibilities."

If there's any company that knows what it takes to build great comics, Marvel Characters does. So it's no surprise that its DIY comic site is pretty awesome, considering its simplicity.

Features that make it awesome include choices for different styles of panels (not into boxes? try zig zags), the set-up for creating up to a 22-page comic book, and the Photoshop-esque tool dock that moves around the page. Your character choices include the stars of the Super Hero Squad Show, including The Hulk, Falcon, and Wolverine.

The site does have some rough patches. If you're hoping to create an original-looking comic strip, you're out of luck, because you are limited to Marvel characters. There are a measly five options for objects, and you can't change the background. With no option to save your work on the site, it's also unlikely you'll be completing a full 22-page comic book in one sitting.

This is the comic strip creation website for artists. The site allows for as much customization as possible without the need to build from scratch. Instead of just choosing the color of a character's shirt, for instance, there are options to adjust the collar, shape, sleeves and size of the shirt. Instead of relying on preset poses and emotions for each character, users are able to click and drag character limbs into new postures and can customize eyes, ears, noses and hairstyles. It's also convenient to add images from Flickr or Google images.

Successful comics vie every day for a spot in the prestigious Pixton top 10.

ToonDoo hits the fine balance between creative versatility and user friendliness, ensuring that the final results look sharp. While there's still an extensive library of characters and objects to use in your comic strip, there are also tools to create your own touches. The TraitR tool allows you to create custom characters and DoodlR lets you paint freely. If you want to use your own photos or another image in your comic strip, you can manipulate it through the ImagineR photo tool.

Unlike other sites, there's an option to save your project mid-creation so that you can come back to it later. When you finish a handful of ToonDoos, you can compile a book. It's easy to embed individual cartoons in a website or share them over networks, and you can buy print-quality images of your favorites.

The stoic characters of Strip Generators lend themselves to sarcastic commentary. There's not a whole lot of opportunity to create a personal style - you need to work with what the site gives you - but that doesn't mean you can't be creative. The community topic-themed galleries are testimony to this (check out the current theme, " Autumn").

One unique capability is adjustable frames. If you need a specific cell to be a bit wider or longer, you can just drag the wall. Another stand-out trait is the personal library. When you tweak an image to get it just right, you can save it to use again later.

Pikistrips takes your photos (er..."Pikis?") and turns them into comic strips. Once you upload your favorites into a customizable comic cell format, you're free to add text bubbles, speech bubbles and objects. The object gallery is pretty extensive, and its contents aren't random. Many of the categories - like hairstyles, hats, mustaches, scars, and tattoos - wouldn't be much fun without using your own photos as a canvas. If you miss the cartoon look, you can apply the "comic" effect to your photo or choose from seven others.

All in all, this site is fun for tweaking your photos (also see the related Pikipimp.com), but is intended to boost the company's custom printing business (you guessed it, "pikiprint"). On the other hand, if you want a custom mouse pad, bag or cup with your photocomic on it, this aspect works nicely.

6 Free Sites for Creating Your Own Comics

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In the days of cold, hard newsprint, only people who could draw were successful comic strip authors. In some cases, this resulted in comic strips that had very nice pictures, but weren't all that funny (cough, Blondie). Thankfully, the Internet has taught us not to accept an inferior form of comic artistry, but a more flexible one.

Following the posting of " Managing iPad Videos in Schools" somebody emailed me asking about some suggestions for tools and apps to create instructional videos to use in a flipped learning setting. In fact, over the last couple of years I have reviewed several web tools and iPad apps that can be used in flipped classroom but the ones I am featuring below are among the best out there.

1- Educlipper

Educlipper is a wonderful tool for creating video tutorials and guides to share with students. As a teacher you can create an Educlipper board for your class and share the link with them. Now that you have a shared space with your students, you can go about creating instructional videos using the iPap app of Educlipper. After you are done you can share it on your class Educlipper board. For those of you not familiar yet with how to use Educlipper to create videos, watch this video.

Pixiclip is another wonderful tool to create step by step instructional videos to use in your flipped classroom. Like Educlipper, PixiClip provides you with a whiteboard where you can add images,text, videos, drawings, annotations and many more. PixClip also offers a nifty recording feature that allows you to record your talk while working on the whiteboard. Once your PixiClip video is ready you can then share it through popular social media outlets lie Facebook or Twitter or email its link to your students directly. If you have a classroom blog, you can grab the HTML code of your video and embed it there. Here is a step by step guide on how to create instructional videos using PixiClip.

Explain Everything is a great interactive whiteboard that allows you to create screencasts and video tutorials using annotation, animation, narration, importing, and exporting almost anything to and from almost anywhere.
4- Knowmia

Knowmia Teach is a new free lesson planning and recording tool for teachers and their students. It helps you create short video lessons on any subject and publish them on Knowmia.com so students, other teachers and the public can find them. Knowmia Teach makes it easy to bring in visual aids from multiple sources, organize them in steps (like slides in a presentation) and use your own voice and fingers to bring your lesson to life. You can design each step in the lesson, record illustrations as you draw them, and create sophisticated animation sequences with a simple stroke of a finger. We also give you the ability to describe your lesson in a way that makes it simple for anyone who is interested in the subject to find your video.

ShowMe is similar to Educreations in that it also allows you to turn your iPad into a recordable iPad. You can use this app to record tutorials and short video lessons to share with your students. Some of the features ShowMe provides to its users include :

Record your ShowMe tutorial right away - no manuals or complicated menus needed

Drop in images onto the whiteboard

Easily switch between drawing and erasing (as well as pausing and playing) to make your ShowMe flow from concept to concept

You can make your ShowMe as long or as short as it needs to be, and record as many ShowMe's as you want. Go nuts!

Once you're finished recording, upload your ShowMe to share with the community (or keep it private if you prefer)

Discover awesome tutorials created by other members of the ShowMe community

This is my favourite of them all. Educreations allows you to create short video recordings that can include your own voice, text, drawings, sketches, and pictures. Some of the features that Educreations provide to its users include :

* Record and replay your voice, handwriting and drawings
*Draw in 10 colors of incredibly realistic digital ink
* Add text to any page
* Add photos from the iPad camera, Photo Albums, Dropbox or the Web
* Animate images by dragging them around while recording
* Create multiple whiteboard pages
* Scroll pages up or down when you need extra space
* Easily erase drawing mistakes
* Unlimited undo and redo
* Pause/resume or start over recording anytime
* Create a free account on educreations.com and choose who can view your lessons
* Share your lessons via email, Facebook and Twitter
* Embed your lessons on your blog or website

The Best Tools and Apps for Flipped Learning Classroom

Info graphics, models, projects and other classroom projects can have professional designs with these tools.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In my previous post shared some advice from Randy Krum, author of Cool Infographics, about creating infographics. In his book Randy devotes a chapter to design tools. Many of the tools used by professional designers cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. But you don't have to spend anything if you want your students to try their hands at creating a data visualization in the form of an infographic. Here are five free tools that your students can use to create infographics.

Infogr.am is an online tool for creating interactive charts, graphs, and interactive infographic posters. There are four basic chart types that you can create on Infogr.am; bar, pie, line, and matrix. Each chart type can be edited to use any spreadsheet information that you want to upload to your Infogr.am account. The information in that spreadsheet will be displayed in your customized chart. When you place your cursor over your completed chart the spreadsheet information will appear in small pop-up window. Infogr.am infographics can include videos and maps along with pictures and text. Your Infogr.am projects can be embedded into your blog, website, or wiki.

Easel.ly provides a canvas on which you can build your own infographic by dragging and dropping pre-made design elements. You can use a blank canvas or build upon one of Easel.ly's themes. If Easel.ly doesn't have enough pre-made elements for you, you can upload your own graphics to include in your infographic. Your completed infographic can be exported and saved as PNG, JPG, PDG, and SVG files.

Piktochart provides seven free infographic templates. Each template can be customized by changing the colors, fonts, icons, and charts on each template. If you need more space on the template, you can add more fields at the bottom of the templates. If you need less space, you can remove fields from the templates.

EWC Presenter is a new tool from Easy Web Content (a website creation and hosting service). EWC Presenter makes it easy to create slideshows, banner graphics, and interactive infographics. The slideshow creator and banner graphic creator don't stand-out from other tools like them. The EWC Presenter's infographic animation option is worth noting. EWC Presenter's infographic tool allows you to animate elements within your infographic. And as was featured in a post early this month, EWC Presenter infographics support audio files.

Canva is a service that makes it easy to create beautiful slides, flyers, posters, infographics, and photo collages. Creating these graphics on Canva is a drag-and-drop process. Start by selecting a template then dragging and dropping into place background designs, pictures, clip art, and text boxes. Canva offers a huge library of clip art and photographs to use in your designs. You can also upload your own images to use in your graphics. Your completed Canva projects can be downloaded as PDF and PNG files. You can also simply link to your online graphic.

Photo Apps for Obscuring Students Faces in Photos

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I like to share pictures from my classroom, but I am also very aware that I don't want to post pictures of student faces. These are my favorite apps for modifying photos from my classroom to obscure student faces before I post them.

($1.99)
With lots of options and customizations, TangledFX is my go to app for creating stylized versions of my classroom.

Percolator ($2.99) Beautiful circles create an abstract version of life in my classroom.

Bokeh Lens ($.99) Quickly mask off an area to remain sharp and then blur the rest. Intensify the blur strength until the student is not identified. This works best if what you are trying to show is in the foreground of the picture.

Prisma App (Free) Prisma lets you take your photographs and apply filters linked to famous paintings. There are new options all the time and they come out looking quite artsy. Some of the filters are not stylized enough to really conceal faces so you may need to try a few.

Touch Blur (Free) It's a little creepy to blur out their faces, but sometimes that's just what you need.

With a little app practice you can share beautiful images of the learning in your classroom, without actually using student faces.

​As I continue to look at more ways to help students build skills in lifelong learning, I've been trying to avoid using PowerPoint and lecture if possible. Google maps has some really amazing features that could have various applications in the classroom where content is related to geography. By sharing a link with students teachers can allow students to drop pins on Google Maps that include pictures, text, and links that represent evidence of their learning. Students not only enjoy making their own pins, but also exploring pins their classmates have made.
How it Works

1. Follow the Google Tutorial on creating and sharing a map. Note links to additional tutorials from this page as well.

2. Once the map is created, users can share the map link (view or edit privileges are offered). Google classroom or email would be easy ways to distribute the link. If neither of those are feasible options, teachers can use a link shortener like Bitly. Google Chrome users can utilize extensions like the goo.gl URL Shortener, which shortens links in one click. It even automatically creates a QR code which can be added to worksheets to help students quickly get to a link without having to type a URL, provided their device has a camera and they have a QR code reader.

3. Students can add pins to the map with pictures, descriptions, and links. They start by clicking on the "add a marker" icon just below the search bar.

Supporting Science
Collins and Halverson (2009) see technology as a powerful student engagement tool, "education will be directed more toward what people want to learn, and hence, they will be more excited and draw more leaning" (p. 109). Many agree that technology can be used in various ways for students to produce evidence of their learning. Maps is one of many ways Dougherty (2012) encourages educators to go beyond essays and reports (p. 43). Pitler, Hubbell, and Kuhn (2012) specifically discuss the usefulness of Google Maps as a way for students to "learn more about any topic with a geographic component" (p. 127).

Impacts
Allowing students to take greater ownership of their learning has been shown to increase student engagement, and the depth of knowledge. I anticipate using Google Maps next year with my Ag and Soil Chemistry course when we discuss parent material of soil. I think I might also have them take photos of the areas they collect soil samples from and update their posting once they've done soil analysis. I could also see using google maps as a way to examine invasive species in Biology, or a way to examine biomes and ecosystems.

Advice on getting started
Follow the link to the google tutorial on starting a google map. Bookmarking the site, makes for quick access. Users have many options in customizing their map, including the color and shape of the pin they drop. Feel free to add pins to the sample map about types of rocks. This link could also serve as a vehicle for discussion on your expectations of students as students begin to work on creating their maps.

Costs/resources needed
The google maps feature is free, but does require a free google account and internet access.

Our students are saturated in a world of technology. As educators there is immediate buy-in when we connections between our students' real worlds and our classrooms. One of my favorite (free) resources to do this is called ifaketext.

It allows users to create faux iPhone text conversations. The website lets you fit between 35 and 50 words on one screen (a conversation between 2 different people). Then, you can take a screen shot of the conversation or right-click to save the picture as a Jpeg. Here are three different ways I see myself using this free resource.

(1) Morning Message - I plan on greeting my students at the door every morning and after the first few weeks they will be well trained in the morning routine. With that said, things always come up (a special routine, a permission slip, different materials needed during reading, etc.), so why not display a fake text between you and your class including any reminders. So when everyone is in the door, the class is ready to go!

(2) Reading Journals - Why not set up a conservation between characters in a story and then, have students complete the conversation in their reading journals? Then, give students the opportunity to pair and share with their face or shoulder partner.

(3) Introduce/Review Vocabulary - At the school where I'll be teaching, 'flashbacks' are the required first step of each class. Using a fake conversation, I can review vocabulary or ask students to use context clues from the text conversation in order to define the word. Plus, the conversation could be examples of a specific type of anything (figurative language, prefix, suffix, root word, text feature, etc) and students have to (a) name/define the term or example being highlighted and (b) continue the conversation!

Well friends, these are just a few of my ideas. What do you think? How could you use faux texting conversations in your classroom?
