I have not changed my mind but recently I&#8217;ve found myself using it to share learning quickly myself quite often.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of useful Apps I&#8217;ve been using to do this, both have, in my opinion advantages over iMovie and clips.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\u200eHyperlapse from Instagram on the App\u00a0Store\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/hyperlapse-from-instagram\/id740146917\">HyperLapse<\/a> is one I&#8217;ve used for years now. It seems to be called &#8216;Hyperlapse from Instagram&#8217; now. It is however free and can be used without having an instagram account. Its main purpose is to record speeded up videos. But the main feature I use it for is it smooths out hand held video with automatic stabilisation. This means you quickly move through the classroom videoing activity and get a fairly good result without editing.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example I posted to twitter today:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A lot of talking and listening going on the in Biggies this afternoon. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/stem?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#stem<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/creativity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#creativity<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrDormanSTEM?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MrDormanSTEM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P70AvSG63k\">pic.twitter.com\/P70AvSG63k<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Banton Primary (@Banton_Pr) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Banton_Pr\/status\/1457708968948736009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/snapthread\/id1277445843\">\u200eSnapthread<\/a> is another handy choice. It quickly pulls together videos from &#8216;live photos&#8217; on iOS. You can add music, titles and the like quickly. I&#8217;ve found it especially handy in impressing visitors who ask me to tweet photos of their work with my class. I can usually get a video up in just a few minutes. You just need to try and hold the camera still for a moment or two before of after clicking the button. 30 second videos free, but I was delighted to be able to pay for longer ones to support an independent developer.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a Snapthread example:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/Banton_Pr\/status\/1443173971587997703<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d not claim any artistry or skill in making these videos but they only took a couple of minutes to create. The longest part was probably the upload to twitter.<\/p>\n<p>I also upload these to <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/\">our class blog<\/a>. I&#8217;d much rather just use the blog but twitter is ubiquitous in Scottish education now:(<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the years I&#8217;ve often though that video is most useful as a tool for pupils to report on their learning and learn a little about making media.
