The New Prospect Elementary Vanguard Team invites you to The Apple Store at Avalon on Monday, December 10th at 3:30 p.m. The topic: Apple Clips, a fun new video editing app for iPhone and iPad. You or your students can quickly add video, photos, subtitles, effects, title cards and music using this app. Bring an iPhone or iPad with the Clips app to this free event (or use one of Avalon Apple's devices while you're learning).
