Vine and Soundtracking... Social Networking Revamped with Power #edchat #edtech @vine @soundtracking

I thank the wonderful words of iPadsammy, when he said "you know these apps might not be exactly related to education, but I think they are powerful." This was at the TCEA Region 7 event two weeks ago.

What I found was how much fun and interactive Vine and Soundtracking are. If you have not experimented or played with either app. Go ahead and download them now and just check them out,

Vine - is basically like Instagram but it allows you to film 6 seconds and it is a stop motion video. It is best to think of short conceptual videos that are fun, arty, silly or just straight up real. This app can be great for catching in the moment events and help bring the social networking platform to a more interactive experience.

Soundtracking - is basically like Instagram but it allows you to play one song from your playlist or online account to any cloud service. It is pretty cool, because you can share music quickly and see what others are trending on. I like this because this becomes a more visual and quick response version of Soundcloud.

It has been interesting to watch mobile apps evolve, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest all serve a purpose and are very helpful in various ways.

But now when you think of short videos - Vine should pop into your head.
Then when you think of quick ways to share songs - Soundtracking should tickle your ears.

Thanks
