Last summer, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) announced their Best Apps for Teaching and Learning 2017. The apps encourage qualities such as creativity and collaboration, and encourage discovery and curiosity.

Add some background music to your story, then export your creation as a video to a mobile device. For answers to common questions about the app, check out their Tips page.
