Creativity and Collaboration are essential skills for today's 21st Century Classroom. With digital media becoming widely popular as both a learning and assessment tool, teachers are continuously seeking the best solution to bring into their curricular activities. One of the questions that gets asked of me frequently is “How can I create a podcast using my Chromebook? The answer to this is very simple… WeVideo!

In this episode of EdTech in the Classroom, we welcome John Klein and Dr. Nathan Lang from WeVideo on the podcast to discuss the importance of using video in the classroom to achieve curricular goals.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why should teachers be focused on creating video with their students?
  • What tools should students be using to capture and record video?
  • How can WeVideo be used in the classroom?WeVideo Essentials: Content Library with Video Clips, Sound Effects, and available for students to use

I am thrilled to have WeVideo back on the podcast. For the last 7 years, WeVideo has been my number one go-to app for anyone looking to create audio or video podcasts with their students It is a fantastic application for classroom projects as well as the perfect partner for film clubs and higher level projects. Teachers can visit www.WeVideo.com for a FREE 30 Day trial. Once you sign in, I’m sure you will fall in love with its ability to create professional looking video at a fraction of the time it takes on other applications.
