There are multiple ways to edit and then share a video from an iPad. Some of them are straightforward, but most of them require some “App Smashing” or using multiple apps to achieve an end result. Depending on what equipment you have available to you at school or at home, here are some suggestions: http://www.imore.com/record-trim-videos-ipad

Sometimes you might have a need to save a YouTube video to your computer, tablet or phone. There are a few things to be aware of when you do this. First, videos in general take up a lot of space on your hard drive or in your device memory. This can slow down performance of the equipment, cause apps to crash and so forth. So be sure you really need to download the movie in the first place and then transfer or delete it when you no longer need it. Bookmark the video in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) and let it live online!
One of my favorite ways to download a video is to use Savefrom.net. Merely insert the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) from the page you found the video and click on the right arrow. Simple! Here’s another great source for developing your PLN (Personal Learning Network): Education Dive K-12. This site provides you with the best in education information delivered directly to your inbox. Then you can share an article that interests you via Twitter, Facebook or any other social media that you happen to like. Quick and easy way to stay on the driving edge of what is going on in education!
Ever wondered why PDF exists and why it's important? Check out this information from Adobe:
Working with PDF formats allows professionals to edit, share, collaborate and ensure the security of the content within digital documents. Now, the PDF can do that much more. Here is the top 10 hit list of why it is the best format. 1) PDFs are Universal. Editing documents in Word can be easy and useful, but if you save a Word document on a Mac, it may not visually transfer properly to a PC; whereas PDFs are viewable on any device. 2) Trusted Security. Even legal professionals trust PDFs as their preferred file format. According toLegalscans.com, for an electronic document to be admissible in a court of law, it must be created in a file format that cannot be altered without leaving an electronic footprint. PDFs satisfy that need. 3) Quick and Easy to Create. Whether working with Word, Excel or PowerPoint, documents are easilyconverted into PDF, and with Adobe Acrobat XI you can easily convert them back if need be. 4) Decreases File Size. Professionals can convert any file into a PDF without sacrificing quality. You can even merge multiple documents, such as spreadsheets, photos, and presentations, into a single PDF file. 5) Reading is Free. Most PDF Readers, including Adobe Reader, are free to the public. This ensures that anyone you send the file to will be able to see the full version of your document. 6) Interactive Documents. To create a fully interactive experience, the latest version of Adobe Acrobat allows you to add hyperlinks, rich media, music, movies, and many other advanced features to your PDF. 7) Mobile Access. Adobe Reader is available on any device, so people can read your PDF files anywhere they want, while still accessing a lot of the same functionality they would get on a desktop. 8) Completely Searchable. Users can easily find what they are looking for through a quick search. PDF documents can even be organized with a table of contents that link all sections to the appropriate pages in the file. 9) Password Protection. Many industries deal in sensitive material or intellectual copyrights that need an even higher level of security. The password protection option allows both recipients and those receiving the file to know that their information is secure. 10) Document Analytics. Recipients can also view who has access to the information. If the password is breached, the appropriate actions can easily be taken. Bonus) Collaborating with Teams. Colleagues can markup and comment on documents, leaving you in control of editing the original, even if they only have Adobe Reader.
