PowToon allows teachers and students to create animated videos and presentations.  There is a free version and a premium version of the tool.  However, PowToon just released PowToons Slides for Educators (Edu) and all teachers who sign up for an account during 2014 will get to use PowToon Slides EDU for free (for a lifetime!).  All you have to do is share their site via your twitter account and you receive your free accout!  Yeah!

Currently, all IMS members who have attended a free training session, have access to borrow one of the 4 Starlabs that we have available through their MediaNet account. 

PA has been issued a state-wide grant to distribute SketchUp Pro Licenses.  You can obtain these licenses by filling out the PAIU PAIMS SketchUp Pro Application.  Shortly after you complete this form you will receive a googledoc with the license codes and additional information.  More information can be found on the SketchUp website. 

In addition to the SketchUp Pro desktop offering, we are also proud to offer SketchUp for Schools, a web-based application available through G-Suite for Education! With the growing adoption of Chromebooks in schools around the world, we have developed an EDU-specific SketchUp platform that complies with all U.S. COPPA regulations and meets the demands of today's students.
