This similar to what they can do with LoggerPro. || * Quick,and very easy for students to get the hang of data collection using the videos.

 * Video Physics** || This is an app by Vernier which allows students to take videos and analyze them.
 * There are sample videos for students to use when first demonstrating the technology to the class.
 * I used this to find the acceleration of gravity in our g lab, and students were able to find the acceleration of gravity to within about 1 m/s^2 with just estimating the slope from the graph. || * Graphs are hard to read.
 * Data is not easy to access, and once data is collected, in order to do more with it you have to use LoggerPro on a computer.
 * Only export options are email (from iPad email) and Facebook. Would be nice if data could be exported to numbers on the iPad.
 * Can't track multiple objects like you can in LoggerPro video analysis. ||

**S****parkvue** || This is an app by Pasco meant to work with their sensors and equipment. We don't have most of the equipment this is designed for, but it does have functionality that uses the built-in iPad gyroscope to log acceleration data. || * Free!
 * Very easy to start collecting acceleration data
 * I used this in our elevator lab, and the data was really excellent. Students could see the elevator acceleration changing throughout the ride. || * "Zero" acceleration is plotted 9.8 m/s^2, which is can be confusing to introductory physics students.
 * Very little functionality if you don't have the extra Pasco probes ||
