Similar to Educreations but much more - screencasting capture and import video and other files, annotate over video and has a better range of export options - you don't need a log on to use either. A very versatile and useful creation tool. 

Students can create their own plays using basic characters in the free version and a huge range of characters in the paid version including the ability to take their own photo and cut themselves out to use as characters in the play. Also in the paid version they can take photos for a background. Students need to plan their script first. 

See the Web 2 tools this is an app as well.
