Transform your Classroom into a Video Production Studio
Padcaster turns your iPad or phone into a video production powerhouse that teaches valuable skills while giving students the freedom to explore the world around them.
Padcaster uses the high-quality cameras on the devices you already know and love — your phones and iPads. Padcaster allows you to mount these devices to tripods and attach lenses, lights, microphones and more.
Included with Padcaster Studio is the Padcaster Parrot Teleprompter, a small yet mighty teleprompter powered by a phone or iPod Touch. Students of all ages love the professionalism of reading off a teleprompter. With Padcaster’s cost-effective tools, students can feel like the professionals they see on TV. The Padcaster Parrot Teleprompter is the perfect tool to create or enhance your own morning announcements broadcast.
Paired with the Padcaster Producer App (available in the Apple App Store), the Padcaster Studio becomes an end-to-end video production suite. The Producer App allows your students to add graphic overlays, watermarks, logos and lower thirds to their productions. In addition, the Producer App gives them full manual control over audio and video recording settings.

The Padcaster Studio includes the Padcaster Case for iPads, as well as microphones, lenses, headset, tripod, greenscreen and sunshade, all of which fit into the included backpack for a solution that is portable and easy to store.
Padcaster hardware integrates seamlessly with classroom management systems such as Google Classroom, so you can use it alongside the edtech tools you already love.
In addition to the traditional classroom, Padcaster can be a game-changing distance learning tool, allowing you to create instructional content for your students when you aren’t physically in the classroom.

Padcaster In The Classroom
Case Study: Starting a School Media Program From Scratch
Starting with almost no resources, Media Specialist Erick Hanson founded EP Media and the EP Media YouTube channel, an almost entirely student-run media production program. In this program Mr. Hanson focuses on quality over quantity, giving students access to high-quality film tech, enabling them to learn from their mistakes and gain confidence by sharing their videos with the world.
