Step 1: Add your content - store up to 5 GB of videos, images,
and audio files
add content in six different ways:
• upload your own files
• import files you already have from Drive, InstaGram, Flickr,
Facebook, Dropbox, Picasa
• record live in WeVideo with your webcam and microphone
• use the stock video clips and audio tracks provided by WeVideo
• access files shared from other users
• use the WeVideo Android app to record and sync video and images.

50. Step 2: Edit your video - drag and drop your videos, images,
and audio to the timeline
three different editing modes:
• storyboard mode: lets you add videos, photos, audio, and themes
• timeline mode: add transitions, graphics (text, frames, animations,
effects), and voice-over narration
• advanced timeline mode: add additional tracks for multi-track
projects.

51. add music
add voice
• record and sync video and images
add written notes

53. Step 3: Publish your video (free version)
• export up to 15 minutes of video per month
• link and publish to multiple services including WeVideo, Drive,
YouTube, Vimeo, and Dropbox.
for school projects:
• beginners: quickly make a simple, but great looking video
• more experienced users: all the bells and whistles of video editing
• access and work on their videos from anywhere
• collaborate on video projects together
• integrates with Google Drive.

54. exploiting the visual
• cultural information
• context
• paralinguistic features --tone, pitch, expressions, gestures
• body language
• speculating on relationships

56. # 1 keep it short!
• 3-5 minute segments
• videos should be the “punch”…, not the whole
party

57. # 2 turn off the sound!
video is as much a “prompt” as an input
• turn off the sound: describe the scene/ action

58. # 3 add subtitles!
support the listening with text to help with reading
and comprehension

59. # 4 make it available
• give stds access to the video:
foster independence
• upload it for review
• download it for offline sharing –keepvid.com

60. # 5 make your own
• use students’ tech skills as a “hook”
• video editing and production skills are important soft
skills to acquire

61. # 6 always preview!
• never show a video without watching it yourself first!
• choose the right video content

62. • # 7 use videos your students want

63. possible ways to use
• retelling
• prediction
• modelling
• quizzing
• description
• inspiring
• tasking
