Remote learning gives students a chance to discover the many learning opportunities around them. WeVideo is an amazing tool that supports student creativity and discovery. Students can teach each other concepts by making explainer videos, foster a love of reading by creating book trailers, and give others an insight into their thinking with using the screen capture feature. Below are some examples of how students can engage in meaningful learning experiences remotely using WeVideo!
Book trailer
Reading becomes more fun and engaging when they create “movie trailers” about the book they’re reading.
Oh what fun it is to make book trailers of your favorite novel or series! My at-home learning project today with @WeVideo! Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. pic.twitter.com/WrwYp1ZIQ7

Explainer video
Students think at a higher cognitive level with they show others how they solved a problem or share new learning around a concept.
How about a fun at home learning activity for St. Patrick's Day?! Create your own explainer video with the answer to this question and tag me! #Learningathome @wevideo pic.twitter.com/cntEZx3FnZ

Stop motion
Stop motion is a video art form that allows students to manipulate physical objects to create an animation. It’s a great way to creatively express thinking and individuality.
Today's #remotelearning idea: Create a stop motion video! Stop motion is especially great for showcasing scientific processes through animations. Here is one on why glue and borax make slime. #whatsyourstory #wevideoeveryday @wevideo https://t.co/zjCkOm0BxF

Dual capture and how to share your video to Google Classroom and Seesaw
Once you create a video, you can easily share it through your district’s Learning Management System. Your students can also respond using video!
Engage students in #remotelearning by giving them opportunities to create a video response in @Seesaw or Google Classroom using @WeVideo. I created a short video to show you how! https://t.co/7rjxIEWRgv pic.twitter.com/jmL3QskR5b

Show your thinking screencast
Screencasting is a great tool to both visually represent thinking and to showcase or explain something.
Want your students to show their thinking? They can do it with the screencast feature inside of @WeVideo. Then add music, video, or text for even more fun! https://t.co/SBPHMqLxlw pic.twitter.com/zDU9KYNY89

Read Aloud
Support students in becoming skilled readers by creating Read Alouds. Creating a "Read Aloud" for your students with WeVideo allows your students to see you reading to them and see the pages of the book (close up) at the same time. It also allows students to pause to interact with the text!
