Next in our “First Look” series is Buncee Edu. This product is categorized under Digital Storytelling/Presentations.
Buncee enables teachers and their students to easily bring together all kinds of multimedia (like photos, video, drawing, audio and more) into one easy online creation.
Using our fun and user-friendly creation canvas, educators can create interactive lessons and multimedia presentations, flip their classrooms, and send home beautiful newsletters and invitations to parents and the local community.
Teachers can also create a private virtual classroom for their students where they can review and grade their students’ buncee submissions like digital stories, multi-media presentations, or a variety of other creative homework projects.

We know they are looking into interfacing with Google Apps for Education to provide easy sign on and saving service. Here is an example of a read aloud created in Buncee:
