The possibilities are endless. Here is a video TUTORIAL that explains how to use iMovie as a green screen editor. No green screen? Try the butcher paper in the teacher resource area.

Draftback. Wouldn’t it be super-epic if you could somehow determine if a child plagiarized a written assignment? Or see if they copied and pasted large amounts of content from an alternative source? Or see if Mom and Dad typed the assignment for them? You can! Draftback is an epic tool that lets you see how your students constructed an assignment. It records every keystroke and change that ever went into making that assignment. You don’t watch in real time, the video is sped up so it goes quickly. You get to choose the playback speed. Want this free tool? Head to the Google Chrome Store and add this Extension. From now on, you can “watch” your students do their Google Doc assignments.
