WeVideo is an easy-to-use video creation tool used by millions of students across grade levels and subjects. Whether students are learning in person at school, from a distance, or in a blended setting, WeVideo empowers them to create, collaborate, and express themselves with authenticity. The tip for teachers is to create your "Groups." A Group = a class, next create 1 group per class you teach. Once these groups are created, bring in student rosters per group/class.
