The Process of Creation
I am in a new district, so I wanted to make sure my message was not coming across as "in my old district." I knew what the message was going to be, but I wanted to make sure the presentation was branded in a way that focuses on the district. Creating videos is a medium I am not 100% comfortable making for a "grade". I thought about creating a slide deck or keynote and then using Screencastify to record over, but I wanted to try a new tool. That brought me to use WeVideo. I had shown my students WeVideo as a tool they could use, but I had not explored and created videos myself. I was excited that I was able to have a 30-day Teacher Trial to use! I started with the video components. I could not figure out how to record audio in WeVideo, so I tried to use Voice Memos on my phone to record the audio separately. Finally, I found the narrative option. The editing component on WeVideo is simple to use.

WeVideo allows you to choose from themes, text slides that are static or dynamic, transitions and backgrounds. It was extremely simple to figure out. Splicing clips was simple as was manipulating the slides and audio.

When I finally was adding in the narration, I had to make sure I had everything written down in a script/outline form. At the beginning, I tried to wing - it, needless to say it didn't work out for me. I split screen my computer, so I was able to see my script and WeVideo. I tried to go all the way through the video without messing up, I messed up way too many times. After many redos, I ended up splitting up my audio recordings in a few segments. Thankfully, WeVideo has extremely smooth transitions. After I finally finished timing the audio and video, I was ready to click "Finish". As I clicked finish, an alert popped up that I had premium content. I could either buy WeVideo for $299 or take out the premium. When I started the process of creating my video I found great dynamic videos and images to amp up my presentation without tons of words, but I had to take them out. I kept my presentation simple with minimal wording.

This was definitely a challenge using a new software, but I enjoyed the process. I tried to create a simple and compelling presentation with ups and downs.
