Let's Collaborate!

WeVideo is fantastic for collaboration with students, teachers, in classrooms and beyond! Teachers are always looking for ways to allow students to collaborate in learning experiences. With WeVideo students and teachers can collaborate live as they work on the same project.

Students engage in deep creativity and learning whilst expressing their authentic selves via video or audio. Video creation encourages students to share and demonstrate their learning whilst developing their ability to collaborate, communicate, creativity and critical thinking skills.

WeVideo collaborative project is ideal for allowing students to work on one edit and iterate until its complete.
