WeVideo – a powerful, feature-filled online video editor.


WeVideo


WeVideo offers a full-featured video editor with nothing to download or install.   K-12 plans include a “walled-garden” feature that can be used to address safety and privacy concerns by limiting sharing of student-generated videos.



Today, WeVideo announced the launch of their Education ChannelThe aim of this channel is to use curriculum-aligned online Film Fests to inspire students and “showcase the best global student videos.”  The channel also provides students with a source of royalty-free footage for use in the Film Fest Videos. 

A free (limited)  plan is available with K-12 plans starting at $149/semester for 50 students.  The free account met the needs of my students for short videos.  A free semester-long pilot program is currently being offered to universities.

Looking for apps?  WeVideo is available on Androidand iOS.

    Don't Flip Out About Flipping Your Classroom – Presentation Resources


    Resources from my Flipped Classroom session at NSTA Charlotte 2013

    Here are most of the resources I shared during my presentation.  I did not include everything (Keynote, PowerPoint, paid LMS, etc.).  I love presenting with Prezi but find the visual nature of my presentations and Prezi’s method of linking to content still don’t mesh well for sharing resources.  

    Update 11/12/13: It was a pleasure to present and learn so much from so many people!  I’m still smiling about the number of teachers who attended a Saturday morning session.  I’m including resources shared and our backchannel transcript at the bottom of this post.
