Storehouse – A Free iPad App for Visual Storytelling

Storehouse is a new iPad app for visual storytelling with your pictures and video clips. The basic idea behind Storehouse is to create stories by combining images, text, and video clips on a blank canvas. To create your stories you can import pictures and video from your iPad’s camera roll, from Instgram, from Dropbox, and from Flickr. You can arrange the sequence of the media by dragging and dropping it into place. You can add text above and below each picture or video clip in your story. Completed Storehouse stories can be shared via email, Facebook, and Twitter. Stories published through Storehouse are given their own URLs for online viewing. You can see sample story here.
Storehouse could be a good app for students to use to develop visual stories about themselves, about field trips,  or  about school events like winter carnival day or other celebrations. As your students create their stories encourage them to think about the sequencing their media to support the narratives of their stories.

Exploros - Digital Learning Experiences for iPads

Exploros was designed from the ground up to make the 1:1 iPad classroom work, with teacher-guided, student centric learning.
Exploros transforms print or digital content and lesson plans into student-facing digital learning experiences for iPads. Teachers can easily make sure students are using iPads for the classroom experience, and can see student work in real-time.

Exploros fosters common classroom instructional strategies such as brainstorming, discussion, and peer review and supports methods such role play, case method, and project-based learning. These traditional approaches can be enhanced with video, audio, and web links, as well as embedded assessment for real-time insights into student understanding.
Thanks to Stan Silverman at NYS TC Moodle forum for the recommendation.
