WeVideo is a versatile top-notch technological tool that allows students to express themselves in creative and engaging ways. Students are able to collaborate with each other in real-time similar to a shared google document and the new classroom feature allows teachers to review the progress of group projects and give feedback along the way.

Teachers across the district are using WeVideo for a wide range of projects such as blogs, music videos (similar to Flocabulary videos), weather reports, book reviews, stop-motion videos, broadcasting (Informative writing), and narrative skits.  I use it for creating senior interviews for my basketball team!

WeVideo is an online video and audio editor which can be a screen recorder that has the ability to incorporate a green screen for a“Hollywood” special effect. Students use their Chromebooks, smartphones (yup, there’s an app for that), and personal devices to create their content.  Since it is cloud-based, students' work is automatically saved so they can pick up exactly where they left off without any worries.

Each student at Unit 5  has the capabilities for a free version, however, there is a 5-minute time limit on recordings. Unit 5 has purchased a limited number of premium accounts for students to use.  If you are interested in having your students use WeVideo for a project, please contact your Instructional Technology Coaches, Amber O’Day (odaya@unit5.org) or Eduard Hafermann (hafermae@unit5.org) to get started.
