The K-12 leader's guide to success with WeVideo

20/08/2019

School districts innovating in the 4C's are currently envisioning, planning, implementing, evaluating and expanding 1:1 learning in their schools. Video creation encourages students to collaborate, share their discoveries, and demonstrate their learning as they develop communication, critical thinking and creativity skills.

For example, students using WeVideo at Dartmouth Middle School in San Jose, California, are autonomous with their learning, according to their Principal, Randy Martino. He added, they're able to project their critical thinking skills, access information quickly and easily work collaboratively with peers. This ties in with their 21st century initiative.

Why? Create a visionSociety and the world have changed. Students are interacting with the world in new and exciting ways that are much more meaningful to them. How does this change the way we develop learning experiences for them?

Create a new vision statement

How the world is changing and its focus on social media and digital storytelling

The impact these changes are having on how students learn and the way in which today's learners interact with the world

Research around creativity and self-directed learning and how to best prepare students to become content and idea creators

Guiding questions to ask your school community

What are the realities of the current technology-immersed environment in which today's learners are growing up in? How should we respond to this reality?

How can we use video creation to scaffold and build learning so that students connect more deeply to new content and in meaningful ways?

Ideas to discuss

Schools or districts are moving to video creation because they recognize the workplace of tomorrow is dependent on new skills, project-based work, inquiry, critical thinking and creativity. Students need to be prepared for their future. With today's global conditions, consider the ways learners interact with the world and how to begin thinking about change.

Students are interacting with and use powerful technology on a daily basis. They expect to have access to rich content in creative and collaborative environments.

How? How do we transform learning in the classroom?

Using WeVideo as a creativity platform provides students with opportunities to be self-directed, connected, curious and involved in inquiry-based 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!

Guiding questions to ask your school communityIn a platform where learning is now possible anywhere and at any time:

In regards to learning, collaboration and the learning environment, what does WeVideo now make possible?

How can you use WeVideo to give students a more meaningful voice in their learning?

Ideas to discuss

Three important aspects of how we learn today: students are connected (social learners), curious (inquirers), and self-directed learners.

WeVideo provides unlimited learning opportunities and makes fundamental change possible.

How well? How do we support teachers and measure effectiveness?
