You can capture photos from a Webcam, upload images from your computer, use Flickr images, or borrow images from a Website to create an animated gif image.
Very nice little tool, and it also can be uploaded on Twitter.
Similar to Bubblr, but this app produces a book-lik presentation, rather than a comic strip format. You add two pictures per open book page, and add text as a subtitle. Good for projects with students' own photos uploaded to Flickr, or pictures found in a search. (See Russell Stannard's description and tutorial at http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/newBubblr/index.html.)
Create animated messages--upload a photo, add text; animation is performed automatically. You can use this to inspire student writing. You can grab pictures from Facebook, Flickr, etc.
See Russell Stannard's instructive screencast at .
"Shadow Puppet Edu is a free iPad app that students can use to create audio slideshow videos. The app offers an integrated search tool that students can use to find pictures from the Library of Congress, to search for images from NASA, and to find Creative Commons licensed images from Flickr. Students can also import pictures and videos from the camera roll on their iPads. "
R. Byrne's blog also gives directions on how students can use this image search tool integrated with audio-slideshow.
