I am often asked, "Is there an app where I can add a dragon/alien/Santa into class?" This video will demonstrate the consumer app FXGuru. This app has some in-app purchases and is NOT SUITABLE for pupils devices. On a teacher's device, it can create some great little effects that can inspire some great creative writing.
