Why Use Video in Your Teaching ?

Through videos I hear from everyone and have direct evidence of student learning. Besides, my students think it is fun.

Short videos encourage students to be more articulate and accurate, and use academic language and tone to address the topic. Exit tickets, warm-ups, recordings in the target language, recorded solutions to math problems and a project reflection are all examples of activities in which we can offer the choice of using videos.

Loom, Lumen5, and AdobeSparkVideo are other video tools that work in conjunction with WeVideo.

Lumen 5 lets you transform articles into videos in minutes. Adobe Spark Video makes very polished looking videos. Here's a little sample.

Though this project is done with FInal Cut Pro, WeVideo in TImeline Mode will let one make a very similar video using text overlays.

These Blends of High and Low Tech make for very effective videos.




Your Task- Make a quick movie using WeVideo

OPTION 1 Take a screencast in Loom and send it to WeVIdeo.

      • Record yourself and your screen with Loom App.
      • Perhaps it is a lesson you'll teach next week or simply directions for HW.
      • When you are finished recording, you'll find your video in Files Folder
      • Using WeVideo, add a feature, audio, picture or video to augment your Loom Video.
      • How might you use this in class?
    • Advanced Option- Upload it to YouTube and then using EdPuzzle, attach questions to it.

OPTION 2 Do one of your video assignments as a student.

    • Imagine a video creation assignment for HW. It could be a video journal, a short movie, a response to a literary character, a screencast of you solving a math problem set. Now imagine you are student in your class doing a this assignment.
