Take your students back in time with VHS Camcorder!

VHS Camcorder from Rarevision allows you to recreate those grainy, jittering VHS videos that most (!) of us are old enough to remember.  There are so many ways you could incorporate this into the classroom, from creating back to the future style films to inspire writing, imagining what life was like years ago, recreating key moments in history or role playing/interviewing public figures.  


The app is very easy to use and literally only takes a couple of minutes of playing around with to see its potential.  


The menu has enough options to make the app interesting and engaging without becoming too daunting or fiddly. 


One of the best features is the date/title, which give a real authenticity to your videos.  You can also adjust the video resolution and frame rate very easily to add to the illusion.  


You can also zoom in and out and use the front facing camera for retro selfies too!


Let me know if you use this app and it would be great to see some videos if you do!

Thanks for reading
