ISTE18: Apple #EveryoneCanCreate Collaborative Artwork At ISTE

Last year Apple magically created the #ForTheLoveOfLearning mural from photos of conference attendees taken throughout the conference and strategically piecing them together to create a work of art by the final day.

What's #ISTE17 without a little magic? Thanks for sharing your inspiration, ideas & passion. We built this together #ForTheLoveOfLearning. pic.twitter.com/qAYzpefngn

This year Apple has announced a new collaborative challenge for attendees that promises to produce another piece of art from inspirational sketches. I can't wait to see the results come together!

Making videos on an iPad has never been easier than with the iOgrapher mobile media filmmaking case. This great tool, especially when combined with a green screen and other gadgets, will help you and your students create fast and easy videos.
