New apps - Animoto and AudioBoo

I've remotely sent out two new apps - Animoto is a really easy way to make a wee video, and AudioBoo is an app to record sound.
To use Animoto, you just open the app, and it'll ask you to click on up to 12 photos or videos from your iPad. Once you've clicked these, you then select a theme, and it puts the photos and/or video clips together for you into a slideshow complete with music - you don't need to do any editing at all. (You can add some text if you like though). It does mean that it will trim your video clips to fit, but it works really well. This would be a great way for even infant classes to create their own videos by slecting the content they'd like. Because Animoto is a free app, you can't save the video into your camera roll - it saves within the app and on the animoto website. From there, you can share the video by using Airdrop (a quick way to share with a nearby iPad) or by emailing the link. By all of us using the same account, it means I can easily share videos on our website if you'd like to.
AudioBoo is another free app, and allows you to record up to 3 minutes of sound. Again, if we use the same account, I can upload recordings onto our website if you'd like to share them(you can hear examples on the p5b page of our website). Please give these a go, and just ask if you need a hand.
