In the spirit of sharing have a look at Voddio an in idevice editing app from Vericorder which I have started to use for my own work. It is non destructive and could be pupil friendly with its bungie block facility.It has A and B roll and 4 audio tracks.You would have to lock down its export facilities for school use but the broadcast pros are starting to use it.
Best Regards
Tom Whitehead

I think this is wise – from experience the teachers need the devices to play with and see the value in early on.

We know the children will love them but the teachers need to really start making curriculum connections as soon as they can.

When I worked at 2Simple and we were building Purple Mash I found that Puffin was ok but just ok.

Clearly it has moved on.

Thank you

Brilliant.Your stuff is too good and real to be ignored.THANK YOU ANT WHAT A STAR

I use the Puffin web browser to use Purple Mash on my iPad. It supports Flash. Purple Mash and JIT from Just2easy work we’ll with it, although sometimes a little slowly. Free trial lasts for a month and then you pay £1.49 to continue to use the flash version.

I really like the tutorial (guessing kids will pick it up through doing, rather than reading wordy instructions!), and toying with the idea of buying the full version.

I know very little about coding, so not sure if it would meet new NC requirements or not? What are your thoughts?
