Picking Pixorial

We like to do a lot of video recording in our classroom, and oftentimes, we cannot get a video camera.  With BYOT, we have the luxury of using our own devices to record and take care of this issue.  The problem comes in when we have to download or upload the final product.

However, we recently found a free app (both Android and iPhone friendly) that will help to alleviate some of those headaches.  Pixorial is a video and picture sharing program that stores media in the cloud. 

We found that using Pixorial is a very easy way to upload video (and pictures - but we weren't using pictures) so that we could share them with each other. There are many share options; the most popular ones are through Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites. There is also an option to embed the image or the video, if you don't want to involve social networking.

And it also is a great tool that can be used for video editing. While we didn't need it for our project, that option is still there in case we want to use it in the future.

It offers 7 GB of free space, so while we can't upload monstrous files to the cloud, we can upload several. And after the year is over, students can use the account to share their own pictures and movies with their friends and family.
