WeVideo is a cloud-based video editing tool that works well on Chromebooks. It is intuitive with extremely helpful video tutorials, allows collaboration, has green screen capability, and allows you to control the walled garden, making it appropriate for all ages. At Baird Middle School every student has a pro account and we use it to make book trailers, documentary videos, demonstrations of STEM projects, newscasts, and public service announcements. If you have lots of video editing experience or none at all you will find something useful here. WeVideo donated 30 trial pro accounts for this workshop which will be first come, first served. Please bring a laptop or chromebook. There will only be a handful on site. There is a WeVideo app for phones/tablets but it does not include all the capabilities.
Jordan Funke (2016 MSLA Super Librarian Accolade) is the librarian at Paul R Baird Middle School in Ludlow, MA where they regularly incorporate video into projects and Project Based Learning.
