WeVideo
Student created videos can be a great way to demonstrate learning. This type of student-centered activity used to require the installation of software onto a device. That is no longer the case with WeVideo; an internet-based video editor accessible through a Chromebook and a Google account. The video editor allows you to create quality videos by uploading media, cutting the video, adding transitions, adding text and music, and exporting into a variety of places including YouTube. A user can create up to 2 minutes of video for free each month or more with a paid account.
