I really love the functionality and platform of Metta.io and now there are new features as the digital media tool continues to innovate.

Metta.io is a digital presentation tool that has been featured here in the past. Metta allows you to combine videos from YouTube, pictures from the web or from your desktop, text, and voice recordings to create a presentation. The latest Metta development allows you to save your presentations in your Google Drive account. To use this option log into Metta by using your Google account at http://metta.io/create and leave the “Connect to Google Drive” checkbox on.

The textual comments under the video can also be offensive and featuring vulgar language not appropriate for our students.
