Creating Slideshow Movies on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch Devices

In a few months, I will be writing a chapter entitled "There's an App for That" - and I am really looking forward to the experience :-).  I am always on the lookout for simple and powerful ways to enhance the teaching/learning experience.  I stumbled across an app that allows users to create slideshow movies on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices with the capability to upload the movies to YouTube.  The app is called Sonic Pics (http://www.sonicpics.com/).  The free version is "crippled" because it allows the use of only 3 images.  That said, it certainly demonstrates the app.  The cost to purchase the app is $2.99.  The app website includes videos that step the user through the process.

This app may be a perfect solution for faculty in the GC Faculty Development Workshop using the iPad. We will be covering podcasting in an upcoming workshop.  Sonic Pics may not be as robust as using KeyNote and GarageBand, and iTunes, but it is certainly a reasonable alternative.
