How can you make more engaging content for your classroom, for blogs and for social media in general?
Before the summer, I discovered the fabulous app, PicPlayPost and lots of followers have been asking ‘how do you make those videos?’ This post shares what it is and how to create your own engaging content.

PicPlayPost is the only app that allows you to stitch multiple collages together into a slide show. Combine photo and video collages and add stunning transitions specifically created to highlight your collages.”

How could you use this app in your classroom? For blog posts and for social media updates? Here are 3 examples I have made – you can visit here to see others – with a tutorial in the footer. Do remember, if uploading on to Instagram, the video must be shorter than 1 minute in length.

I use the app Pic Play Post to put together 15 second Instagram trailers for my videos. It’s a simple app to use and it’s a good way to format your video to fit into the square space of Instagram.
