Here are two interesting apps we reviewed in the past and which you can use with your students to create simulated TV shows.  Students will get to experiment with a wide variety of multimedia materials, collaborate together, design characters, pick out themes and backgrounds, draw cartoons, and when they are done they can share and leave feedback on each other’s creation.  Check them out and share with us your feedback.
