In June, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) announced their Best Apps for Teaching and Learning 2018. The apps encourage qualities such as creativity and collaboration, and encourage discovery and curiosity.

The app Clips allows you to “turn your iPhone into a video production studio with Clips. Create and edit dynamic videos with the ability to add subtitles, animated stickers, filters, and music, all within the app. Videos are easy to make and share via text or social media.” 

Platform: iOS
Cost: FREE
Grades: All

This article from Ed Tech Team covers both the app and also instructions on how to flip your classroom by creating Clips videos. The author is a high school teacher and believes this app can be extremely useful to students. “By having videos that prepare them for lectures, engage and entertain them, reinforce instructions, and highlight key concepts, our students are being set up for success.”

Common Sense Education has this review of the app, which contains pro/cons along with ideas for ways to use the app for teaching like for recording book reports or making presentations in foreign languages.
