School districts are developing continuity of learning plans to ensure that student learning happens in-person at school, in a blended setting or from a distance. We’re here to help educators optimize learning outcomes, enhance instructional strategies and maximize student engagement.
With WeVideo, teachers can deliver core instruction through the creation of engaging instructional videos, and students can apply their thinking in visible and meaningful ways through the creation of sharable video created products.
As districts are developing governance, aligning organizational resources, and developing systems to monitor and adapt to changing needs and circumstances, we are providing this guide to support districts as they plan, implement, evaluate and expand blended learning in their schools.
COVID-19 significantly and abruptly altered teaching and learning for students across the globe. Educators must adapt to the current realities and circumstances while also ensuring the continuity of student learning. Society and the world have changed. Students are interacting with the world in new ways that are much more meaningful to them. How do all of these factors change the way we develop learning experiences for students?
Leverage exciting opportunities through WeVideo to redesign aspects of learning. Using WeVideo as a creativity platform provides students with opportunities to be self-directed, connected, curious and involved in inquiry-based, blended learning.
“Using WeVideo has transformed the way kids and teachers learn in their classrooms,” said Jennifer Eggert, Innovative Learning Coach at Dujardin Elementary School in Illinois. “The kids have gone from passive media consumers to active media creators. Our students are creating book trailers, math videos, screencasts, documentaries, TED Talks, commercials, newscasts, genius hour videos and so much more. With endless possibilities, the sky’s the limit for both our teachers and students!”
In a platform where learning is now possible anywhere and at any time:
Well-trained teachers — supported by a principal committed to change — are key to using technology to its fullest potential. WeVideo resources can enable you to accelerate your digital transformation initiatives and support your continuity of learning plans.
Sharing plans and exploring ways to work together, bring your IT leadership to the table so they understand the scope of your implementation. Their partnership will help get any issues resolved quickly and effectively to keep teachers and students productive. They also own the policies you will need to address to maintain student safety and data security.
Districts and schools can share their results at user groups, community meetings, and weinbar sessions. Lead the way for more districts to adopt 21st century learning initiatives. With a solution that drives incredible impact on learning and engagement, expanding or renewing a service will be expected by your education members.
