education, learning & technology
There are lots of great new features in the new iOS6 which can support teaching and learning but sometimes it's the small things which are great. I love the fact that they have now included a clock. A simple resource with a stopwatch and timer that you can put on your whiteboard to use as a resource in your lessons. Time activities, have countdowns for activities, there are lots of uses you can make from this simple addition to your iPad.
Avid Studio is now Pinnacle Studio and whilst essentially the same app, it is FREE for a limited period.

Ok, so apart from being really inspiring about what technology can do and perhaps for live mixing of tracks in a DJ style in Music lessons; and perhaps in Media lessons, or perhaps creating a video montage quickly and easily of Sports Day or a trip you’ve been on….. and then of course, really showing off the massively brilliant multi touch environment on iPad…… Ok – so the new VJAY app by Algoriddim is simply awesome. If you love audio/video, have any interest in DJing or just want to have access to something which, if you look at the specific hardware equivalents on the market, eg the Pioneer DVJ-X1 then you’re looking at upwards of £1000. For an app which gives you access to two decks for the currently 1/2 price offer of £6.99 – get it while you can.
I produced this sample effort using the app within minutes of purchasing it. It’s intuitive, fun and I can see it having mass appeal. It takes the best features of their award winning DJAY app (which is also 1/2 price at the moment to celebrate the launch of VJAY) and adds in video.
Tracks: Levels – Avicii – Spinnin’ Records & Michael Woods ft Duvall – Last Day On Earth – Diffused Music
Video clips: Standard bank of vid clips that come with the app
Here’s a short intro to some of the features of the app. Apologies for some of the jitter/lag in the screencast (slow wifi at home) – that is why I didn’t do a full mix:
