Submitted by hharrisonvt on May 22, 2020 - 4:59pm

I'll teach you how to use WeVideo, a simple video editing software, to create your own videos. Being able to create videos has been an essential tool in my tooblox as a public school teacher during the last 2 months of distance learning. I imagine you could use it for all sorts of artistic endeavors as well!Here's an example video that shows one way of interfacing some text, some music, some screen sharing, some web cam, etc. I made it to share with my students when quarantine started. https://www.wevideo.com/view/1678588477I've used this software with students as young as 11 years old--so tech-savy kids are welcome to join this workshop as well!To make things smooth in workshop real time, sign yourself up for a free account BEFORE Skill Swap Weekend!  (https://www.wevideo.com/signup?p=free&tier=personal&product=wv_free&plan=wv_free&instanceName=WeVideo)
