We have millions of users that sign up for our free account every year. We created this product to allow anyone to get started with WeVideo and learn to create amazing storytelling videos. Its been a huge success. However, over and over again, we see educators use the free version in the class room. We highly discourage this, and here is why;
Privacy
As a parent or concerned citizen, you have probably read and heard every horror story of identity theft and the many dangers of using the internet. You may think that this will never happen at your school, but what if it does?
As an educator, you know that introducing a new cloud-based tech tool may not be the most popular news among parents for a good reason. Many products are not meant for use in K12 classrooms and their privacy settings may not provide a safe environment for the students. Like humans, all companies have to make money to survive, and unfortunately some companies get that profit by sharing your personal information. WeVideo is not like that. We have to make money, but protecting student data is extremely important to us! To ensure that minors are fully protected, we highly encourage schools to implement the full classroom package of WeVideo.
The full version of WeVideo for education comes with advanced privacy controls. If the students account is created by a teacher, the teacher must first obtain parental consent. After setting up the account, the students will collaborate in a secured cloud environment and all the content they create is protected. We take privacy seriously and are proud to share that the full version of WeVideo is fully compliant with the FERPA and COPPA rules and guidelines. Think about the potential consequences of taking that free shortcut, is it really worth it?

More storage, more publishing time
Upgrading t the full version gives you more storage and more publishing time. With more storage and publishing time, you dont have to limit yourself. Is your class going on a field trip next week? Make a memorable video of it! Instead of sending out that weekly plan in black and white, why dont you add some music and fun graphics to illustrate what exciting stuff your students can expect for the week to come?
Or maybe your school is planning a theme night and would like to share the exciting schedule with students and their families? Check out what Joey from Sunnyside USD created when his school was hosting a Star Wars night:
Project-based learning
Group projects are fun and challenge the students to work together as a team. Edutopia defines project-based learning as a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge. WeVideo lets the students (and teachers) work together on the same video project where each of the group members will have a chance to make edits, provide feedback and add markers to explain their thoughts throughout the video creation process. The teacher will also have access to an analytics tool that will provide useful insight, such as how much time a student spends in the editor or how much they have uploaded. To avoid confusion, only one student can edit the video at a time. When one student is editing the video, the other group members will be locked out of the edit. However, if a student is inactive for a longer time, the teacher can step in and unlock the video project. To learn more about collaborative projects, check out this video:

Engaged students, better results!
Now that youve taken this great step, its time to get creative and try out advanced features like never before. You will now have access to advanced tools such as chroma key (green screen), screen casting, slow mo and fast mo. Green screen is a fun tool your students are going to love. By switching out the background (which does not have to be green), you can place yourself on a sunny beach in Spain, dance next to your parents in their old home video from the late 80s or be the main character in a cartoon; your imagination sets the limit! With the full version, you can also create helpful tutorials for your students or coworkers by using screen capture. The best part? These features work excellent on low-powered devices such as Chromebooks!
Inspired? Video editing is fun and WeVideo makes it easy for students at all ages to express what theyve learned through creative video editing. With the video projects stored in the cloud, the students can access their work on any device, anywhere at any time! If you or your students would like to continue their work from home, you dont have to worry about having access to a software or the right authorized computer at home, they can simply log in from their own computer or mobile device. Remember, inspired and engaged students leads to better results!
If you would like to learn more about Wevideo and how you can use it in your classroom, dont hesitate to contact us and well do our best to answer your questions.
