WeVideo makes Student Videos

Student Created Video Productions

Wevideo creates student videos and works on the chromebooks.  However, I have found they are a bit touchy, and one year students did lose some video.

I like the outcomes though.... music, audio, timing, etc.   The multiple tracks really let the students take ownership of their own videos.

Here is a sample I showed them when we were writing urban legends and putting them to video.

Milk Bottles

Screencast-o-matic

This is good one also to use for flipping a lesson.  You will need a YouTube channel to save your video (or maybe you can download it to your drive???)

This one follows whatever is behind "the box."  You can choose to keep the cursor visual and to either show your head or not....

Here's my sample:  Rozz Video

Would you like to flip a lesson?

This is a good place to start.

iMovie and ITrailer

AWESOME Videos on ipads

iMovie has all you need to make movie trailers.  I'm using these for student book reports.  We are making QR codes to put into books in the library.

Here's one I made for my son:  iMovie

Gotta have a YouTube Channel!

Create your own channel to save your videos!!

Having a convenient place to save your videos is essential.  It's also import that they are in a place where they can be pulled and are compatible with other programs.  Youtube will take care of it all.  

You can send the urls to your students to watch, or you can embed the videos into websites, blogs, etc.

Educreations

A Great Way to Create Teacher Videos of Instruction

Educreations is one of my favorite video making sites.  I create short videos for grammar/sentence mechanics instruction and have the kids apply them to their own sentences.  Here is a sample:

Videonot.es

VideoNot.es Keeps Students Accountable

When I have a video (that comes out of youtube) I want to know that the kids watched it.  Videonot.es allows them to take notes AND saves a copy to their google drive.  It also timestamps their notes according to placement in the video, which means they can't just open the video and say they watched it.  I like them to screenshot the video notes to me instead of sharing them so I can do a quick check on them in Schoology.
