HapYak + YouTube = Creative Writing Task. HapYakHapYak allows you to add text blurbs and doodles on top of a YouTube or Vimeo video. Continue reading →
Beth Dichter's insight:

This tool is new to me and is pretty easy to use. You create an account at HapYak and then bring in a video from either YouTube or Vimeo. You can add text boxes, insert images, freeze the video, and write on a video. The finished product is stored on their server. 
For directions on how to teach this check out this post, or to go directly to HapYak and see some of the videos other have created go to http://hapyak.com/.

And if you are looking for fairly short videos that students might like to write on check out the Vancouver Film School that is suggested in this post. Great videos that are about 3 minutes in length!

Popcorn Maker: A Dead-Simple Drag-and-Drop App For Remixing Web Videos

Popcorn Maker: A Dead-Simple Drag-and-Drop App For Remixing Web Videos | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
About a year ago, I wrote about an "HTML5 media framework" called Popcorn.js that let filmmakers build online interactivity right into their web videos. The trouble was that you needed to be (or know or hire) a coding ninja in order to use it.

The article goeson to state that Popcorn Maker, put out by the Mozilla Foundation, is the "Final Cut Pro of online interactive video -- a pofessional-grade tool for creating world-class multimedia experieces from scratch -- Popcorn Maker is more like iMovie." 

To use it you have to grab online media (think YouTube and Vimeo for video, and SoundCloud for audio) and then use the interactive widgets available. Have fun experimenting!
