Getting Started with WeVideo (For Teachers)

 

WeVideo is an online video editor that works on all platforms.  It is web-based, therefore there are no apps to install.  The District subscribes to the WeVideo Schools Plan.

Send an Invite Code for Students to Join Your Class:

After you create your class(es) you will send an invite code to your students who have already logged into WeVideo via the Office 365 method described above.
