- Tellagami is a fantastic creation app that allows students to quickly and easily create short videos to convey their knowledge on a topic.
- The app is free and works on both Droid and iOS platforms.
- Students can use a variety of devices with Tellagami: smartphones, iPods/iPads, or tablets
- Emailing finished product is quick and videos are relatively small in file size
- Finished videos can be saved to camera roll on device, so they can be embedded within many other applications and easily emailed or saved.
- Students can choose from integrated backgrounds or choose or shoot their own background image
- Tellagami is difficult to use on school devices, since students do not have email (usually) on school devices in order to "turn in" their work (email). A work around must be created in this scenario.
- Devices used must have built in camera
