I have been asked what are my favorite apps to use, and I have often shared that I love the app fotovidia. 
 

Fotovidia is a great app to help build a slideshow.  Not only is it incredibly easy, but it takes little time to put together a slideshow.  Kids love looking at themselves, and I use this all the time to put together little “movies” of the kids working on their projects.  It is a great way to document the year, as well as, to show stakeholders what you do in your counseling program. 

 
To give you an example, I made this movie to show a glimpse into my life.  It is being shown tonight at our BOE meeting.

In addition to fotovidia, other great apps to help promote your counseling program, and are fun for kids as well, are iMovie and iPhoto, and InstaFrame Pro. 
 
 



iMovie helps to create short documentaries of your work, and the one minute trailers are all pre-designed so you can either shoot short video clips or add photos.  You can even add your fotovidia slideshows and splice them together for a different look.

 
iPhoto helps to edit your photos. 
 
InstaFrame Pro allows you to add borders and frames to your photos.   
Here is an example:
