The challenge
Teachers today face mounting pressures between the rising expectations of their profession and student needs for more engagement. At WeVideo, we often hear how challenging it can be to manage time between creating accessible and engaging lessons, figuring out how to incorporate safe, standards-aligned content into instruction, and, of course, running a classroom (and so much more).
Many educators and students are also not fully aware of how much they can do with WeVideo’s features – even though some have been using the platform for years – and are missing out on valuable time savings that can free up some of their brain power for other tasks.
The solution
Bobby Kalman, Solutions Engineer at WeVideo, and Kris Edwards, Instructional Technology Coordinator at Cherry Creek School District, showcased some of the best-kept secrets of the platform during their ENGAGE 2025 session, including:
- WeVideo Chrome Extension & Mobile App
- Editing tools
- Playlists
- Interactive features and discussion tools
- Robust content and stock libraries
The results
Teachers often report that WeVideo is an all-time favorite tech tool because of its continual innovation, problem-solving features and ease of use. And the recent Forrester Total Economic Impact™ Study puts numbers to the time saved – time savings is worth nearly $202,000 to the organization who uses WeVideo, over three years.
Key takeaways
- Students gain flexibility and accessibility: they can film on their phones, collaborate with each other, and produce both polished and quick-response videos.
- Interactive video features also improve student accountability and engagement, while an easy-to-use platform reduces teacher workload as they prepare lessons.
- At the district level, faculty collaborate more effectively because they can share resources quickly and easily across teams; this also unlocks substitute lesson planning capabilities.
